What an amazing piece -you can feel his emotion in  - love it :-))

Wolud be interesting to see this quilt in its entirety - hope you will post a picture when it is completed. :-))

Thank you, lin-e-bee.  That is exactly what I hoped to accomplish...thanks for "feeling" it.  My piece will be donated to Maria Shell (wonderful artist and very talented machine quilter) of Alaska.  I am so happy that she likes the quilt as a part of her theme on racism.  As soon as she sends the photo, I will happily share it.

I could tell it was Ghandi as soon as a saw it- he looks wonderful - well done !!! you have definitely captured the 'look'

Thank you, Bronwyn.  I just love to hear that I captured him.  There are times that I doubt my fabric selections and am unsure of the end results.  I have made many of these and I messed it up twice.  Those pieces will be used for smaller art pieces.  Thanks again, Diana

This is very moving and beautifully made. Thank you for sharing! I too would love to see the finished quilt.

Thank you, Pippa E. I will have to pass along the message to Maria Shell that we are all waiting to see her final quilt.  If I recall the quilt should be ready by April.  She is collecting blocks from other artists and hope to submit it for exhibition.

Amazing... well done!

Thanks, Quilnan. I had fun watching him "emerge" into a recognizable image.

What a beautiful image!

Thanks so much, SomethingLisa.  My DH loves it and is requesting that I make one for our private collection.  I will make another, but it is nearly impossible to get the same image.  The fabric is batik and has so many variations in color.  I may repeat some of the fabric, but add a couple of different colors.  I prefer not to repeat the color palette.  Thanks again.
