I was inspired to make this quilt after watching a retrospective about the search for The Afghan Girl on National Geographic television.  I was given permission by the photographer and this is the result.

This is incredible Paula. I painted this one year in oils and was pleased with the results but I can't imagine doing it in fabric. I'm so very impressed.
