New Quilt in the Works...


I belong to the Chicago Quilters Guild, and they are going to be sponsoring a Quilt Show in May.  They have asked all the members of the guild to try and at least display a quilt of their own.  I have not made many quilts, and honestly don't have any here that are quilt show worthy, so I set out on a task to make a new quilt especially for the show!  I told my husband about what I wanted to do, and I have some fabrics picked out that I think I would like to use.  And well he comes back to me and says, "I know the perfect quilt you can make with those fabrics!".  I said cool, what do you have in mind?  He said, "Applique" something!  LOL... Well, he went to work, and started sketching out a quilt and we went back and forth on emails, and finally decided on a picture he found on the net.  Now, I don't know how to go about using that picture, I know that copyrights are all over the place, so I'm going to try and do something similar! Here is what he chose:

I know this is not going to be an easy task, and I only have 2 months to do this.  So, tomorrow I will go shopping for some additional fabrics in hopes that I can create something equally beautiful!
