Photo Quilt Ideas

Photo quilts are a way for quilters to incorporate photographs of important or meaningful people, places, or other things into the design of a quilt. Photo quilts can be used as a keepsake for a wedding, birthday or other special event.

Wedding or Anniversary Photo Quilt

A quilter may choose to commemorate a wedding or an anniversary with a photo quilt. Photos used may include those of the bride and groom and their wedding party, as well as images of meaningful places or events, such as their first meeting place or a photo of their rings.

Birthday Photo Quilt

A birthday photo quilt can include photos from the previous year of the recipient's life or photos from past birthdays.

School Photo Quilt

A quilt can be made for a high school graduate of his or her class photos from each year in school. In addition, teachers may enjoy a school photo quilt with images of the students in their class.

Vacation Photo Quilt

Instead of keeping vacation photos in a photo album or stuffed into shoe boxes, a photo quilt can serve as a keepsake for a special trip. Snapshots from the trip can be arranged on the quilt top in chronological order to remind the owners of their memories.

Family Tree Photo Quilt

A family tree photo quilt can be a treasured heirloom as well as a reminder of a family's history. A family tree can be made using photos of the members of the family arranged in a tree, with names and dates of birth stitched or penned into the quilt.
