Oh My Gosh that is so beautiful. I just joined the Quilting Board as I am trying to teach myself to quilt. I am basically a painter but after seeing your work and others on this board I think I am way out of my league. It is just beautiful.

They use an animal photo but the same concept would work for any photo!

Beautiful picture by the way! I am sure it will make a stunning quilt.
