Would you like to see ??
This is a project I finished this winter. I recognize it's a little different subject matter, and certainly not one for everyone to like.
I started with a photo, enlarged it on a photocopier and drew a 1" grid on it. All the pieces in the pieced version are 1" finished, though each of those might have had several seams if the colours landed that way.
I took it to be stretched as after all this work, I didn't want to learn on this one, and risk ruining it! It's about 24"x27".
For comparison, I'm posting both the original photo and my pieced work.

Board was covered first with a layer of batting to allow some quilted padding. Then framed.
