Photo transfer help

A friend of mine recently received a quilt as a 25th wedding anniversary
gift, made by her 17-year-old niece. It has many photos in it done by a
variety of processes. Some are okay, but a few, including the central one
of herself and her husband, are already cracking and peeling. Is there any
way to rescue these--at least seal them to prevent further deterioration?
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Sounds like the centre one may have been done using iron on "transfer" paper
and then when the quilt was washed and dried, I'm assuming in a drier, the
heat was too much for it. Not sure what you can do but I would suggest not
washing it again.

Haven't done this, but here is a guess. Might be best
to just do another one with the same photograph. Use a
more stable technique of course. Peel off as much as
possible form the damaged one. Applique the new one
over the damaged one.

Poor Fran has only had the quilt a week--I wonder if her niece washed it
before giving it to them.
