I agree with everyone else. You will be better to fuse. I had a picture my daughter took in Greece and I really wanted to make it into a wall hanging. I blew it up into an 8 x 10 and put it on my light box. I traced all large pieces and the details that I wanted in my wall hanging. I traced it onto a piece of thin template plastic and then took it to my local print shop. They blew it up to a 12 x 30 inch size. I then traced all the pieces and made templates and placed them on my background until I liked the placement. I then fused the pieces and machine quilted. I hope this helps, with all the suggestions I am sure you will make a beautiful wall hanging..The picture is amazing...Good Luck. If I get one of my kids to help me I will post a picture of mine. I still can't get a handle on that posting pictures thing.

Anything is possible, but as CorgiNole said, it would be extremely detailed. Would this be your first PP? If so, try something not quite so detailed, in the meanwhile, you can be drafting up your PP of the Minas Tirith. Good luck and have fun. Fusing would probably be best.

Not to put a damper on this gorgeous project endeavor, but would you be violating any copyright laws. Maybe just to be on the safe side you should contact someone and let them know your intentions and get permission to replicate this. Just looking out for you. There are always so many discussions on this topic I wouldn't want you to show it in a fair or have a picture of it published and end up in trouble. It should be a fairly easy and painless step to take just to protect yourself.

A quick question for everyone else - what exactly do you mean by 'fuse'?
