When beginning any new project it is always a good idea to start by doing some research into design ideas and techniques. After I had the idea to construct a Memory Quilt my first step was the web to learn about different quilt styles, techniques and most importantly the best way to include photographs on my finished project.
During my research I found many different things that needed to be considered when planning my project:
Size of the finished project
Color Scheme
Method of transferring photos to fabric
Quilting Method
Below are links to some websites that I found very useful in helping me explore the above five points.
