I used Duck in the quilting process of this piece. Layering: back, Duck, cotton batting, wool batting, top. (Then quilted). This piece hangs beautifully. The second photo is as it (they were) was displayed in a local quilt shop (2months). The other two pieces do not have the Duck.
First photo: original design Two lower quilts: practice pieces from Judy Madsen online class. |

My sentiments, exactly ... denim is not a good choice for quilt back, too heavy. I have made numerous wall art quilts that were sandwiched with cotton batting and backed with cotton fabric, they hang fine. If this is an exceptionally large quilt, a narrow rod pocket can be added to the bottom of the quilt (in addition to the hanging sleeve on top). A wooden dowel inserted into the bottom rod pocket will add enough weight to keep the quilt straight and flat against the wall.

Very creative! I think you interpreted the photo extremely well.

Very neat art quilt, Linda! I'd suggest using a regular quilting cotton for the backing. Sewing the hanging sleeve, and one for the bottom when doing the binding makes the process go quicker, IMHO. :)

What a wonderful idea. I never would have thought to try to make windows like that. You're amazing.

What a fantastic interpretation

Great wallhanging. You should frame the photo and have your son hang them both in the same general area, see if his friends notice the similarities.

Just FYI, I did go for the cotton backing and adding the batting. I added hanging tabs to the top and that made it very stable and straight, so I skipped the bottom rod pocket. I used some scraps of red, black and white fabrics for the backing so it can be reversed for a change of pace.
