The art of tuning your favorite photo into a quilt has become quite popular over the last year or so.MOSAIC PICTURE QUILTS is all about doing this.

Ms. Durbin provides nicely detailed directions on how to get your photo from paper to the quilt.By using a 1" fusible foundation and 1 1/4" fabric squares, you are able to create the graduated colors that a photo shows.But wait, it is easier than you would think because there are no turned under edges.Everything is done in "raw form".The secret is an overlay of tulle fabric!By using this overlay, you can even incorporate 3-D embellishments such as rocks, dried flowers or twigs to add extra punch to the quilt.

These will be beautiful wall hangings but are not something you will make in a weekend.With over 500 pieces in her smallest project to 1200 pieces in her largest, it will take many hours just to cut the fabric.Each project has the photo and the finished quilt shown.Size, number of pieces and skill level are given at the very start of the project so you will know which one you want to do.A materials and cutting list are provided and instructions on building and embellishing and finishing are also given.

Ms. Durbin provides photomaps and transparency forms so you can create these or your own.
