Okay, the first picture is NOT Ft. Mason. It is an old appliqued baby quilt top that I bought at an antique store in Social Circle, near Atlanta. (Yes, there is really a town called Social Circle, it's very cute.) Many years ago, I bought one similar to this at a garage sale in Los Angeles. The applique was almost done, so I hand quilted the top. I was thinking I might do the same thing with this one, but it's too stained...so I will donate it to an auction. (It only cost $15.)
The second picture is a smaller version of the first photo quilt I made, which is shown way back in the beginning of this blog. This new one is smaller, and printed on smooth cotton fabric instead of textured polyester.

Ya know, Marina, I think you've found your true niche with these photo quilts. They are fabulous. I love the repeated images and the the overall look.
Thanks! You know how I was working at Art Quilt Tahoe--in a style that was fine, just not a challenge anymore. These photo quilts are the challenge I needed. They are not technically hard to make, the challenge is mainly in finding the right picture.
