    Way to busy and complicated for me. I quilt to relax and it is a hobby. Some people are artists and to each his own, I just don't care for it as a quilt.

    You'll find several good threads about QU classes if you use the search function up above. Here's a recent one we had. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-122207-1.htm

    Here's what Google images came up with http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fra...=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7ACAW_en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=MMLgTd3HL5CZhQe5nsG7Bg&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1916&bih=877 cool eh?! 8-) 8-) 8-)

    And check out Rose Rushbrooke's Gallery http://www.roserushbrooke.com/fractal-art-quilts-1.html
    As an artist (I paint oils) and a CAD expert, I love the idea. The technique might require some thought. The pictures of those quilts are beautiful!

    Have a look and see what you think - this topic has had 48 views but so far no comments. :?
    They are beautiful, but I think they are beyond my capabilities at the moment!

    They are beautiful and would love to have one (any offers out there?)but they are not for me. They look like WAY too much work to me. I am still just learning the basics of quilting. But they are georgeous.
