I don't think it's crazy -
If it were me - I would have it transfered to fabric with photo-transfer paper. That way you could do many many of them and maybe make them each the focal center of a larger square - just like the photo memory quilts are made.
Or if you want it bigger have a copy shop help you enlarge the image onto transfer paper/fabric and you sew it back together from the enlarged pieces - I just saw that on FOns and Porter love of Quilting show - it was very cool!
Thats how I did the label for my Mom's quilt - check the third picture on this page!!
