Can this be made into a quilt?
#32
I think it will be too overwhelming for me and my abilities. If I had one of those programs to make quilts, I might be able to somehow come up with something, but I don't think I can do much but applique. I might do a wall hanging. Thanks for the ideas. Never thought of applique or wall hanging until you all mentioned it. That is definitely do-able...harder than h**l, but do-able. He's going thru a really hard time right now, really hard, and this picture and the thought of a quilt was the only thing that cheered him up. He's 35 and I would never let him near my sewing machine. He does all my computer stuff for me. He's always "hooking us up" with great things. I'd like to put that smile back on his face.

Steady stitching I have that same quilt pinned on pintrest and the instructions bookmarked. I have looked at it several times. I am thinking about fabrics right now. I plan on starting it soon. It is mostly strip pieced.
What if you did the quilt as a wall hanging. Print it out the size you want it(Kinkos is good for this). Then fuse the whole thing. It would be a lot of cutting but you would only have to quilt the wall hanging. This looks like something my nephew would ask for.

So, I'd definitely recommend to keep it a wall-size. I would first try the wholecloth with fabric paints approach and second, the fused applique approach.
If you can get the design printed on giant paper at Kinko's, you can use a tiny bit of Elmer's washable school glue to tack the ovals fusible-side up to the paper. Then just press your background fabric to the fusible shapes. They'll be all laid out precisely for you.
Good luck! Hope you do this one and share pictures!
