How much are Photo Quilt Blocks?

Our most popular gift is a FAT QUARTER OF PHOTOS!

A fat quarter is 18×22 inches in size. One fat quarter is $35.

We try to cram as many photos on these fabric pieces as possible! You can get one HUGE photo or go with 3×3 photos and get 30 photos on one fat quarter! And we have all kinds of photo sizes and options in between that!

Take a look here to see what fat quarter options we have and what they look like!

A fat quarter of photos is only $35. So if your sewer chooses a 3×3 fat quarter, they will get 30 photos which figures out to be only $1.16 a piece! Now that’s a great gift!

But why does this unconventional gift choice make the perfect match for their creative spirit?

Here are 5 compelling reasons to take the plunge and gift your DIYer something truly special.
