Paraiso Tropical

The original size of this "quilt" is 32"x40" so a lot of detail has been lost in transferring it to the web.
This is not a scan or a photograph of a "real" quilt. No fabric, scissors, needles or thread were used.
I designed the 25 "fabrics" in Photoshop. The cutting and assembling of the pattern was also done entirely in Photoshop.
Since this is my first "virtual quilt" and I had a lot to learn - I followed a pattern by Louisa L. Smith from the quilt book "Strips And Curves."
It took about 40 hours to do.
See the next image for a close up detail of 4 of the blocks.
