Uncle Harry's Patriotic Photo Quilt

To honor my husband's uncle, we decided to make a photo quilt. His daughter snuck the pictures out for us to scan and print while her parents were out of town. I used 20+ photos and a variety of patriotic fabrics. We presented it to him at a family party in August. He had a great emotional, surprised reaction and was wonderful!

If I created another quilt like this, I would probably avoid such busy fabric colors and loud prints in order to enhance and show off the pictures themselves more.
