I think you first need to decide on if you want to make a close up, a silhouette or a forest scene. Then you can find a picture you like to make into a pattern. Be sure to use a picture that has strong light and shadow as it will be easier to make a pattern. If the pattern part is not your strong point I would be happy to help you make a pattern if you choose the picture.

I live in the Pacific NW and am a big fan of NW Native art. The link below will take you to a native design for a Sasquatch mask. There is an artist by the name of Sue Coleman whose are reflects both native design and the subject of the native design. I have a painting of hers where you see the frame of a native longhouse with a bald eagle perched on it and one of the pillars holding up the frame is a totem with the bald eagle featured prominently. It is just lovely and might be a fun way to do your quilt. Use the native design and a portrait for Sasquatch. PM me if you want help with the pattern.
