So here we have it.
It is named: The Western Front - a Snapshot of Our Darkest Days, measures 590mm x 1005mm
There are two options for viewing. I think I like the first one the best - what do you think?

with the postcards folded up (r.h.s.) |
I still have to sew on an old button above the right hand 'waterfall' of postcards.
The label is bigger than I usually make, but I decided that I needed to write some explanation to the piece of work. There is a play on the word snapshot - I have used photos and made them into postcards to depict what I learned.
This has been created to honour all those New Zealanders who fought in Europe during World War 1.

Wow - can't wait to see the stitching in person - the close-ups are stunning. An amazing piece.
Aww! thanks, Lynette - the stitching did take quite a few days - but I wanted them to be representative of the piece and you know that means a lot searching :-)
Beautiful - I like the way you altered the background quilt with paint. It really made a beautiful piece.
Thanks Chris. I may have to think about another quilt that I made in a depressed state - painting over it and cutting it up might help! :-o
