    3. Hi Shelby, a memory quilt is any quilt made in memorial to any particular occassion/family/person that the creator wishes to make it for....This particular creator, Barbara Mullins Kral, made a couple of memory quilts with old to new family photos transferred onto the fabric blocks (it's a fairly simple process if you make quilts, craft, or sew). You can use your computer to scan your chosen photos, add captions, print them onto the special printible quilt sheets (purchased at sewing and craft stores), and then design the quilt to your liking with the fabric colors and style of your choice. Some quilt creators may even tack on little personal momentos, or symbols to help embellish the meaning of what they wish to convey. It is up to the creator. My mother in law received one a year ago, and it was very nice. She hid it away in a box for safe keeping; though in my own opinion (and being a quilt maker) believe all quilts should be openly displayed, in a proper manner, for everyone' viewing pleasure.... Hey, a great thought! Maybe, I should buy her a nice quilt wall rack for her to display it on!! She is the hardest person to buy for. Thank you so much Shelby!
