Iron on transfer is fine for t-shirts and other things that you'll throw away in a few years, but for a quilt you need something more permanent. You can buy pre-treated fabric sheets with paper backings that are made to go through your inkjet printer. Read the instructions before buying to be sure you get the right one for your needs. Some can be washed, some need to be heat set. You can find these at most fabric/craft stores.
Be sure to include some sort of label for the quilt that identifies the pictures - who, what, when, etc. Twenty or thirty years down the road some of them may be forgotten.
The last link is to a Google Image search for "memory quilt." Check out all of the photos for design ideas.

Pictures On Fabric

The technique depends on whether or not you want to be able to wash the quilt. Iron on transfers work beautifully but make the fabric stiff. The printable fabrics are nice and soft but you have to check washability. An other option I heard was to iron muslin onto freezer paper and cut it to size to fit your printer. For lots of info... check out the message boards at patternreview.

Well, there is the obvious iron-ons, or 'heat transfer'... In some cases, you can actually use an ink jet printer, directly on the fabric.
Dont forget about embroidery! Many of todays sewing machines can import pictures, or use software to convert an image into embroidery stitches (or cross-stitches, as may be)

get your pictures transferred to a sheet of iron on paper. it depends on where you live that you can get this done. but after you do that all you have to do is follow the iron on instructions and then your all set. make sure to iron the corners very well or else the pictures will start to peel off the quilt
good luck

HP and a few other companies sell iron on transfer paper. You print the photos onto this paper and follow directions. This works great. I have done it for t-shirst and banners. You can get it at HP or Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, I have even gotten it at Wal Mart.

buy iron on paper, print the pics on them and then transfer them to the cloth you are using for the quilt
