I also am a genealogist, could you tell me how you started your quilt, how did you put your pictures on the quilt, maybe like an applique? I'd like to try it as well.

Great Job. I do quilting and genealogy too.
Maybe all quilters are genealogists or vise versa.

I love the sepia toned photos, with the beautiful fabrics you chose you've made a true family heirloom.

I have all my pictures scanned into my computer. I bought special fabric (it comes in a package of 8 by 10" pieces with a paper backing on it) at JoAnns. I printed out the pictures I wanted on the ink jet printer and then used in my quilt. Very easy to do. I also made all my pictures sepia to make them the shade I wanted
