Thank you gollytwo for answering this. I also used CJenkins and ordered the solution and treated my own fabric. That way, I could use high quality cotton, either white or ecru, and treated whole pieces of cloth before ever cutting out individual sheets. It takes a bit of time, but the end product is well worth it and if you follow the directions you shouldn't have any problems, keeping in mind however that no matter the method, no matter the quality of the fabric sheets, none of them are designed to withstand direct sunlight. It will fade over time and so for these types of quilts, it's best that they not see direct sunlight and washings be kept to a minimum.
I've tried several different brands of photo transfer cloth that you sew in, not iron-on.
The best I've found is made by C Jenkins Company. Unlike other brands it is soft like quilting cotton fabric.
I order 10 white Miracle Fabric sheets at a time; irregulars if they offer them when I'm ordering.
If you wish to do your own, they sell the supplies.

This was custom designed and stitched by me. I've made 3 or 4 now and they just have to "speak" to you? Pictures are different sizes and shapes and people love different types of added blocks, etc, so each one has to be designed individually, and that can take quite a bit of time.
