For your first attempt it looks fantastic!! Keep in mind I've been doing this for 30+ years. I never saw real art quilts until about 1976 and no instructions just there they were. So it has taken me forever to get here. As you learn techniques and the basics you will build confidence and skill and explore and learn new techniques. It is a wonderful fun adventure. Like all quilting it gets better with practice and patience. If more people were like you and jumped in to try it for fun, more would get hooked and find out how much fun it is. You do not need to know how to draw in this age of electronic aids, just trace away. So I commend you for your first big step into the world of pictorial quilts. You are getting your feet under you and will be running like crazy in no time. Enjoy the new experience and lead the way. I look forward to seeing your future work!
