look up *do a search* for 'Confetti quilts' this looks like a great project for that technique. also Nancy Zieman *Nancy'sNotions.com* has some great books, tutorials, videos on landscape quilts. also check tutorials for 'landscape quilts' there are a number of ways you could do this- you could blow it up to the size you want it- lay light background fabric over the picture & applique onto of it....

Ok so I thought some more. Yes, I would blow the picture up to the size I wanted the quilt and use the confetti method.

I will be following this one with interest. I have no artistic ability and would not know where to begin with it.

Please show us the end result.

My first thought was "thread painting", if that is the correct term.
