Danny Amazonas is a fabric artist who uses thousands of different fabrics to create brilliant, colorful images of people, animals, flowers, and other subjects. The result is a combination of realism with an almost dreamlike quality. Here is a stunning quilt designed to invoke patriotism.
As we remember those who died on September 11, 2001, this image inspires us all over again.
