Summer’s here and the time is right … to start a fabric collage quilt!
One of the first steps is, of course, picking out a picture of your subject. But picking out the right photo isn’t as simple as flipping through your photo album. In this week’s Throwback Thursday I give you hints and tips for choosing the right photo to use for a fabric collage quilt.
