MtnBarb Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 How terrific. I love that you made the pictures round instead of square. It goes perfectly with the rest of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Holly, that quilt is perfect!! An Irish Chain... With photos of Ireland... Made with green fabric... And a Celtic design in the quilting. You can't get more Irish than that! I love it! (Your Terry Twists are perfection as well!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Your quilt is very nice, and so much thought went into getting everything so Irish. What a wonderful birthday present for your friend! I also like the oval pictures, instead of the square ones. That's a very nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy2018 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I very seldom comment on quilts, feel a little new at all this, but I just have to say, I thought this perfect!! the beautiful pictures, Irish chain, in greens, the celtic quilt pattern, the size and scale, and the fact that it was made for a 75 year old as a memory of what was probably a very wonderful adventure,,,,GREAT. It's great when a quilt like this can enhance a life experience. He will be able to relive the trip every time he sees it! Wonderful job, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Okay, had many of the same "Irish" comments posted above. The quilt is awesome, the lay out is perfect for the photos. I especially like the way you set up the photos. The oval lay out isn't harsh like many memory quilt photos can be. Wonderful quilt and memories.

WendyJ Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Love the quilt! Love the way you faded the photo's. I made a photo-quilt a few (five) years ago for my mother in law. Unfortunately the photo's fainted away despite of the use of special printable fabric. I hope this quilts lasts, it is worth it. Have a nice day, Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
