I'm wondering if this thread might get more responses if it was more specific. There are so many versions of "art quilts". Let's name the ones we can think of and perhaps quilters will be more interested in less general threads. Here are some possible specific threads.... and please add to this list and let's see what happens.
Landscape
Scrappy
Bizarre/far out
Photos
Floral
Fauna
People (faces)
Children
Buildings
Animals
Already I can see too many overlaps, but "Landscape" could include people and animals, fauna, flora, even scrappy.
These are just some ideas, maybe good, maybe lame. But I am surprised that "art quilts" hasn't taken off better than it is. More pictures might help. I'm going to try to post some pictures to show the small range of quilts I have done as soon as I can find someone who knows how to do it LOL.
My avatar is a response to a 9 year old neice who told me "I like hummingbirds and my favorite color is lime green." The humming birds are taken (in general) from a Dover Press coloring book, the florals from on-line photos. Both were done with scraps and paper-glue sticks before being sewn down.
