My Favorite Images Quilt

I made a quilt pattern design by using some of my favorite photographs or photographs of my favorite things and manipulating them in photoshop. There are two Robert Mapplethorpe photographs, a favorite celebrity of mine, water, and even two types of raw meat. I manipulated the color, texture and shape of every photograph, some beyond recognition, to harmonize and create a cohesive design. I chose to bring out the blue in almost every picture, it being my favorite color. I left the steak it's intense red to contrast the cooling blues and greens that surround it. I would like to have made some of the photographs more unrecognizable, as I feel that it distracts the eye too much.
