I think it would be a good candidate for this type of quilt

I'm not an applique person and I love the idea of taking it slightly abstract without losing the wonderful warmth of the original image and the nice lines and colors would also be preserved. I saw a demo of the methods in this book at a local guild meeting along with quilts made from this method and it was pretty amazing.
