I love how Melissa Sobotka started out with one pillow first and decided she could do this! Amazing quilt. I also love how she is now exploring abstract quilts, her creativity is beyond bounds.

I too thought this was a photograph the first time I saw it. It's gorgeous! I wish I could see more very up close shots, so I could see the stitching that holds the applique on. Congrats Melissa!
