I printed the old school photo (as school was in 1948) onto fabric that I had pre-treated with bubble jet and jet set. Then I just folded the fabric and made a cut out to make the frame around the fabric photo, doing the same for the out most frame.

Using Steam-A-Seam Lite 2, I fused the frames onto the background fabric, only fusing the edges. I fused the lettering in the same way.

I loaded it on my A-1 longarm machine to do the quilting and the applique stitching. On the background fabric I used a dense pebble fill with a flower fill for the yellow frame.

This memory quilt was made using the same techniques as the reunion quilt above.
