Guitar quilt

I was working on this wallhanging off and on for about three years. I was inspired by Juan Gris' cubist paintings. I didn't want to copy his painting, but when I tried to do my own cubist composition I was daunted. I would take out fabric and play around with it for awhile and then put it away in despair. It ended up more closely following his composition than I would have preferred, but I did have fun trying to use the fabric and stitching to make it more "mine." But the best part is that it is finally done and I can move on to something else.
