It's a digital collage that I created in Photoshop using a number of my photographs and a painting. I printed it on five panels of silk using my Epson 2200 pigment ink printer, then seamed them to create the quilt top. It's very heavily free motion machine quilted using a variety of threads - rayon, silk, cotton, and maybe even a little polyester .It's a red letter day, as my oldest son is officially a teenager today. I better run and make his cake!

Wow, he is stunning. Haven't tried digital composing yet but you make it look "seam-less", pun intended. Congratulations.
It's a beauty, I sure can see why it won! You spoke about seaming. You certainly masked them well, since I can't see any seams. This will be the first year in nine that I'm not going t Houston, so I won't get to see it in person.
Hi Diane, I haven't visited your blog in a bit but this quilt, OH MY! is captivating in spite of viewing it on a computer screen...it must be something awesome in person! The Crow is is so intense it an intense setting...the colour intensity as well as the design lay-out speaks of sheer mastery in the medium! I keep striving for this kind of impact! Congrats!
Thank you, everyone!
