Christmas photo quilt

This gift idea is not as hard as it sounds. I like to sew, not love to sew. I have made a handful of quilts over my years of marriage(mostly for my husband, he loves them!) One Christmas I had decided to make a quilt for my in laws. I wanted it to be original and I was hoping for some tears from my mother in law but no luck this time. I started with picking out materials that had earth tone colors in them. From there I decided on a very simple big block quilt, nothing to hard. I cut out each block and laid them on the floor in a pattern I liked. I chose solid colors through out the quilt so I could iron on photos that I thought would mean allot to them. I choose their wedding picture, a current picture of the 2 of them, pictures of all the grandkids and old photos and new. The iron on photos were really simple. You can purchase a iron on transfer photo paper at any hobby or craft store, just follow the directions and you will have the perfect personalized quilt! Once you have the photos picked out and transfered on your paper you just iron right on to your solid blocks and sew away! I will post a picture of the quilt very soon. A gift that will stay in the family for generations!
