I had so much fun making my first rag quilt, I immediately had to start another one! And I had *just* the project in mind. Several years ago I was browsing through a craft store when I came across printable fabric. Yes, printable fabric you put in your printer and print digital pictures from your computer onto it. I thought, “Well! If anybody needs printable fabric, it’s gotta be me.” I’ve been hoarding this fabric since 2004, waiting for just the right project to come along. And I have to say, this photo rag quilt was *perfect*!!! :)

Amanda, this is absolutely gorgeous!! LOVE the fabric & colors you picked out.
I can’t sew a straight line, but you have inspired me to try it! Love the photo fabric, must get some!! Thanks!
Wonderful job Amanda…..clever you! I can’t wait to try out making of of these rag
quilts. The sky is the limit & great for gifts
too as they can be coloured co-ordinated to
suit any room. Thanks so much for sharing &
have a great weekend.
Hugs.
Aww, I love it! The colors are perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Great job Amanda. Miley and Howie actually match the one they were photographed on. How neat is that. I can’t wait to see more of you artwork in the future. You are one talented gal. Thanks for sharing !!
Amanda, that is by far one of the most beautiful things I have EVER seen! You have just picked my mom’s Christmas present! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
I want to try this now! Maybe just a rag quilt at first, but I’m definitely into the photo fabric. It would be so cute for a baby quilt! :)
Wow, I just love the color combination! I just saw on t.v. on a quilt show about printable fabric! Very cool! Thanks for once again inspiring us all Amanda! Hugs!
Excellent idea!
They are both beautiful! Great Job on them
both. I cannot wait to get my own
sewing machine. I love quilts and want
to start making them. Yours are just
beautiul! Thanks for sharing.

Your quilts are just amazing. Love this idea. Hoping to find some time to make one for myself (or better yet, for the perfect gift).
Hi Amanda! I was just wandering the net when I happened to come across your blog. I adore it! What beautiful quilts! Would love to try it out sometime.
I will be back again soon to visit. Come visit mine… it’s not as cute as yours though! : )
I am looking forward to getting to know more about you! hugs, Jane
Love, love, love the quilt! If it didn’t have pictures of you both on it…I’d have to find a way to buy it off you! I seriously love the colors-I will probably copy this exactly!
Thanks!
I loveed the first one you did—-but this one is even better!!!! What a great gift idea!!! You should make these and sell them—I would send you pics so you can make me one! I can’t sew anything! :)
AHhhh! My husband is going to kill me, I just know this project is going to take over my whole weekend. I’m so excited to try this!
That may be THE absolute COOLEST thing I have EVER seen.
I thought I was the only one to ponder this idea….I have my 8×10 photos and blocks ready to rag stitch together but i got cold feet….after googling and seeing yours, I think I might proceed, however, mine will have larger blocks and require stitching around the photos…alittle bit more involved…. I think i will hand stitch with clear thread around each image and then frame and rag stitch together….wish me luck ha ha

I LOVE THIS!!!! And your Blog!!!
