Danny Amazonas makes drop-dead gorgeous collage quilts. The man definitely has incredible artistic abilities. I took a class from him in Houston to learn his technique. It's very similar to Laura's except his quilts have a ton more detail with regard to depth perception and lighting. I think any quilter could make collages like Laura's. It definitely takes artistic talent to make quilts like Danny.
