You could aways print them out and then, cut them out and use as an applique..

The roseate spoonbills and the green water-- that's a very pleasing color combination!

I have recently seen something done like this from pictures.
(1) blow the picture up to the size you want
(2) take teracing paper or a thin paper and lay it over the picture
(3) draw a grid of squares off on this paper
(4) remove the paper and lay beside the pictures and then label or color with color pencils the colors each square should be
(5) replace the paper on top of the print and begin piecing from the grid using the colors you choose

I hope this makes sense.

Laquita, That's a very good explanation. Have you ever heard of "The Supper Quilt"? It's a huge depiction of The Last Supper painting and uses a similar technique. It is the work of a North Texas dentist. I have found a book that I think will help me with a quilt, once I decide which photo to use. The board has been just full of great ideas.
