Jamie Hayes Quilt

I"ve been plugging along, but have not finished anything lately. I've definetly been pacing myself, not wanting to flair up the elbows again before they are fully healed. I started PT again today to work on shoulder/neck issues BEFORE they become problematic.

I received an email from the Jamie Hayes Gallery in New Orleans and it reminded me of the quilt that I designed using one of his designs. I wrote to Mr. Hayes asking permission to make a quilt from his copywrited design and he granted it. I keep thinking that I should send him a picture of it. Mr. Hayes designs a new image every year for Mardi Gras. My quilt was patterned after one of his piano key smile designs called Peter the PianoEater!
Here is a picture of it:

This is the picture that I used as my inspiration.

This is the resulting quilt.
