First let me say that you are doing amazingly well -- much better than I could. I have always wanted to try an art quilt but have been afraid to. Congratulations for getting the courage and taking the first step. You said that you were not happy with the results so far and unless it was your intention to do so, you may not be happy with it because the color you chose for the large hill behind the house and the color of the sky changed the depth of the picture. If you look at the picture you will see that the hill is darker than the sky and it is reversed on the quilt. That being said, once you add in the fence, it may make all the difference in the world as to how you feel about it. And, don't forget that when you do your quilting and embellishing, a lot will change on the quilt. It is going to be great and I think that you should be very proud of your efforts thus far -your work is far better than I could do. Keep it up and don't forget to post when you are finished.
