Nature Quilts Inspired by Photographs

Nature's beauty and variety give me lots of inspiration for my quilts. Sometimes, I like to interpet an image almost exactly. But, usually, I take some liberties and represent things rather loosely. It's great fun to edit and experiment as I arrive at my final composition. You can learn how to do it, too, in my class Design Your Own Nature Quilt.
