No, I didn't have a pattern for the quilt. I saw one at a quilt show and liked it very much. So, I decided that I wanted to use full size pictures and sketched it on graph paper. I cut the photos to 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" to match what I had sketched. I used 1" black and white fabric and cut it 1 1 /2" crosswise. I cut 1 1 /2" black strips to make the film edge., 2" sashing between pictures. Then I just laid the film strip across, marked it and cut the background 1/2" larger and stitched the film strip on.

It did require a little adjusting where the film crossed but all in all, it wasn't that difficult. I think my great nephew will like it.
