My Daughter's College Graduation Quilt



I wanted to make my daughter a quilt for her college graduation from Kansas State University in May of 2007.     As you can probably tell, K-State colors are purple and white.  I used pictures of her with family, friends and her as she grew through the years.  Making it was like going back and going through her lifetime as  made each block.  It is so neat being able to actually printing on fabric.

    Another gorgeous quilt, Marla. I bet your daughter was well pleased with that.

    My sister made me a similar quilt for my birthday a couple of years back and I love it as I'm sure your daughter does with this one.

    Stunning quilt Marla and I'm postive that your daughter treasures this one. I adore the way the pattern frames each photo and each one represents a little snippet of her life line. It is amazing how far printing has come in the last few years and being able to print on fabric to create masterpieces like this gorgeous quilt really opens up crafting on a new level. Thanks for sharing your daughters quilt with us. *Hugs*

    Oh my goodness Marla...this quilt is absolutely stunning! You can just see all of the love that went into every single square and I'm sure you dd was so overjoyed to receive it. I'm sure it is something that she will treasure always. It certainly is amazing what you are able to do now in regards to printing. Who would have thought even a few years back that we would be able to print pictures on fabric like that? Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful little pieces of your creativity and life.
