Thanks for the compliments everyone!
I definitely had a blast and see more quilts in my future.

Yes, I came up with the pattern.
I do freelance artwork in my spare time for book covers and game designs, so I have a Wacom tablet. I drew the design to scale on the computer and then broke down each section to be printed like a puzzle then reassembled the paper and traced each piece on to a light weight fusible interfacing. I didn't trust myself to freehand a giant Totoro on to fabric. lol
EDIT: This was my original design. I came up with the tree later because at the time I wasn't sure how I wanted to fill in the background.
