This postage stamp quilt is in honor of my father, Cecil Joseph Bryer, who celebrated his 100th birthday on July 24, 2001. The hundred guests who celebrated with him, included his three children, nine grand-children, and 15 great grand-children. The large photo was taken on his 100th birthday. The small photos surrounding his head trace his life from his baby picture in 1901 to his 99th birthday in 2000.

On his birthday he drove his car one last time, then donated it to charity......his one concession to being a centenarian. Until 2004, he continued to live on his own in the house he bought in 1941. He passed away in January of 2005, at the age of 103½.

The pictures were scanned into the computer, and the center panel of the quilt was designed in Corel Draw, then printed with archival ink on cotton broadcloth which had been soaked in Bubble Jet Set to make it permanent.
