I'm left in awe by art quilts!! You did a magnificent job. The colors, art work and quilting are inspirational. Some day I hope to do one. Thanks for sharing.
Well, I didn't "free hand" it. I enlarged a postcard on an overhead projector onto white butcher paper. I then transferred the shapes by tracing them onto plain paper, and used the tracings as my patterns. It was a long process, but pretty fun to see it "come alive".
