Thanks for the suggestions, and the encouragement. It is actually a photo that I've enlarged and drawn out.
As you said Nancia, I just need to jump in and start. I also really like the gauze cheesecloth idea. I think that texture will be much better than the tulle I was thinking of.
I am off to a quilt retreat in a couple weeks and I think I will take it along to that and hopefully have something to show off soon.
