on a side track here there is a new quilt posted in pictures that I think totally qualifies as an 'art quilt' she has taken a picture of a lake and made a window view looking out the doors to the dock to the chairs at the end of the dock to the water its done incredibly well with superb perspective. its titled a lake quilt I believe just posted today. check it out marvelous work.
you guys are super creative. one day when I stop swapping I will have time to work on these things too until then I will just ogle your art work
