Memory Quilt - Finished



I'm so proud of this one.
Thank you very much to Mel and Jessica for giving me the oportunity to make this for them and thier family.

Mel supplied me with photos which were scanned in. The images were digitally sepia toned in Photoshop and printed onto fabric. Each photo was placed as the centre of a crazy log cabin block.Lace was caught into the seams as the block were constructed.

After the quilt was sandwiched and quilted the dress was hand appliqued into the centre of the quilt and lace motifs were hand appliqued.

The back features a printed label, a hanging sleeve and a spare block which was made into a pocket on the back of the quilt for keeping specials items.

The binding is straight edge and put down by hand.
