The center is the much seen LOST logo. I surrounded it with ocean fabric to illustrate that they are on an island. The character portraits are on a green background to represent the jungle and the highlights from the first four seasons are on a sand-colored fabric to represent the beach.
This is in the preliminary stage...just the top is completed. It still needs to be quilted. This is how I got to this stage: I printed images I found on various fan sites on specially treated fabric. I then added a fusible paper product to "glue" down the photos. I am now securing them down by satin stitching around the edges.This quilt is not for sale, and is for my own personal use. The photos depicted on it are in the public domain, having been downloaded from various fan sites. Therefore, it is not in violation of any copyright law. (Hubby suggested I say this to make things clear!)

Looks like you have a good start there maven.
It going to look pretty nice when you're done.
WOWZER Maven!! WOOOOOOOOWZER!
Super awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us all everybuddy. :-)
I'm very impressed. My quilting is a lot like Desmond's explosives training - just enough to get me in over my head.
Maven that is truly impressive.
That is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world.
Maven, that is awesome! and quite ambitious, imho. Is is a queen size? It looks huge.
Are you machine quilting, or satin stitching by hand? Either way this might just take the majority of the hiatus.
What are you using for the bottom cloth?
Way to go!
Thanks to everyone's kind reactions!
Amused2bhere: The quilt is about 54" square...more like a wall-hanging. I am machine stitching the "photos" down. And I will be machine quilting. I do hand quilt, but it's hard to hand quilt through fusibles. I haven't picked out the backing yet...probably some jungle-type print!
W.O.W.
I hope you'll make your next quilt in the shape of a Dharma logo. That would be awesome.
What a great quilt, Maven! I wish I was as talented as you so I could make one but I know mine would no way look that good! Do you have to have a special printer to print out on the special fabric you used?
This is absolutely amazing!
Fantastic. Good luck to you.
Wow! You are very talented. It looks great. Can't wait to see the finished product. You are going to post pictures aren't you?
Maven,
You rock.Are you going to add anything from the ARG's or will that be on your next Lost quilt?
Your comments continue to make me smile!
Bianca: No, I use a regular inkjet printer. I do pretreat the fabric with a special solution that helps the dyes stay permanent and then I iron it onto an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of freezer paper. It then becomes stiff enough to go through the printer.
Takes A Village: There's enough stuff in Seasons 1 - 4 to fill up the whole quilt! If I get inspired, I guess I can make a separate ARG one!
There will be pictures of the finished quilt!
Wow, nice work, maven! You must have worked fast to have those photos from the finale already. :)
P.S. FWIW linked your Lost Quilt blog on my Art Museum blog. :-)
Maven, the quilt is awesome!!! You are so much more experienced than I am, and you definitely inspire me! I'm glad you were convinced to finally do this!
Take care, and happy quilting! Can't wait to see it finished...
xxooo
email!!

Thanks for the link, Capcom!
That's fantastic Maven!
Nice quilting.... we should sign you up as a 4-H leader so you can share you talent. Have you got a fair nearby that you could enter it in?
OH MAVEN! That is FANTASTIC! I've been out of the loop a little, but Ange mentioned to me you were working on one. How long did you it take you?
Can I have one??? :P
