I saw one of your "quilts" last night but didn't get a chance to comment. But here's another one. I love the concept, and it is beautifully done. This is quite stunning - a really special composition.

I find these composites quite fascinating. The composition of this one is particularly pleasing. Can you tell me how how you do this??? CC

Cathy - thank you.
I got my inspiration from a NY photographer... Steve Harlow.
Look at his pages: http://www.flickr.com/photos/p0ps/
Make a lot of photo's in JPG, make them "smaller" (1200 or 1600 pix is enough), and work on them they way you like it.
Open all of them in Photoshop.
Go to File, New, Format. (10000 x 8000 pix is large enough)
Then open each photo on that new file, by selecting the photo, Ctrl A + Ctrl C.
Then paste the photo on the new file (Ctrl V).
Then you can push the photo around and turn it if you like. Or do anything you like.... (Ctrl or Shift plus mouse)
Practice a little and you will be amazed by the result.
Oh yes, Steve Harlow, the man from NY who is doing this much longer and who is a member on Flickr.com, said to use a wideangel lens and shoot as close as possible - that way you get more "stranger lines". :-)
He uses about 40 photos from an iPhone for one "quilt panorama".

Nice composition that reminds me to the work of Escher.
I saw some of your other artwork using this technique and found it very pleasing as it shows much of my roots
