It would be a stunning quilt for you son. If I had time I would draft it up but so many irons in the fire right now and I may take off for warmer climates so have to get work done in the house and dentist before I can do anything.

Why don't you print the picture off onto some fabric, maybe 35-45 pictures on 8.5x11. I know this would be expensive but WOW what a quilt.

I love it! The picture and the fact that your son thinks " my mom can do anything." I say give it a shot. I guess you would start by making a bazillion ovals LOL
Good luck and show us a pix when you get started.

What if you did the quilt as a wall hanging. Print it out the size you want it(Kinkos is good for this). Then fuse the whole thing. It would be a lot of cutting but you would only have to quilt the wall hanging. This looks like something my nephew would ask for.

Sometimes you just need to say no. I have to enjoy making a quilt - it's a hobby not a job.

Oh my gosh, it moves for me too. Nothing I would attempt. What about copying the pattern onto fabric?

I think I saw a bargello quilt that was similar but it used squares.

It makes me think of Elizabeth Hartman's pattern Owl Eyes from her book on Modern Patchwork. That is an appliqué pattern.

I wouldn't even know how to begin to approach this, but will cheer you on if you take the challenge!
