A finished picture of the memory quilt I made for my son's birthday. I got it done in time! Whoo hoo! :D One on the way and one more to go for Christmas... for each of my two older boys. The third one will be done in blues. I think the most fun I had was going through all the pictures, deciding which ones to use. They brought back so many memories. I hope you like them as much as I like making them.

I have never seen a memory quilt like this one. I just love it. Did you applique all the pictures? I'm doing a memory quilt with all different size pictures and it's very hard. Is this a pattern you found?

My pattern is from eaglesnestdesigns.com It is called Cheery-O. The pictures are pieced. They can be pieced, appliqued, reverse appliqued, or fused. I just chose to piece them. It is hard to do, but after doing two of them, I think I am getting the hang of it. :shock: hehe Glad you like it.
