Maryellen Pancotti replied to Maryellen Pancotti's discussion HELP with a photo memory quilt"Thank you Donna,
Do you suggest only one photo per block or could I make some blocks only 1 photo or could I make some blocks single photos and some blocks collage photos. I'm thinking all individual photos would be best. I may have used this…"

Hello fellow quilters,I have heard of Photo Memory quilts, but have never made one. My boss came to me the other day and wants me to make a photo memory quilt for her 86 yr. old mother's birthday in June.
