    This is an original quilt that I made from a photograph that I took of my son's hands while he was playing the guitar.

    I gave this to him for his high school graduation. Of all of the wonderful gifts he received, this is the only one that "choked him up".

    Is it original if you alter a traditional quilt pattern?
