    I'd lose the photo on the front (as Ghostrider suggested back a few pages). Put it on the back of the book.

    These are the results from a search for "picture quilt books" on Amazon - none of these have the original photo/inspiration on the cover. And a photo/quilt of some other image(s).

    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...e+quilts+books

    Look at the first book "Mosaic Picture quilts" - check out the back cover. I wouldn't give away more of the technique - just the original photo.

    My printer/scanner/fax decided to jointly go on strike and aren't working. PM me your address and I'll mail you copies of the contracts. I'm going to blank out the information already on them but you could easily redo them in Word. Sorry.

    Gotta run.

    eta: And I really, really wish people would read an entire thread before commenting.

    It looks like Scherenschnitt (scissor cuts - which is a German paper technique) to me. Not sure I would associate it with stained glass or quilting except for the title.

    I agree that it is not stained glass. I think it is more like cut stencil work!

    I agree.
