I'm going to make a Luna Moth to put on my quilt, using this photo as a guide.
(Edited to add: As a disclaimer, this is not a photograph of mine, I pulled it from this site but I couldn't find any copyright info. Hopefully they won't drag me away to jail kicking and screaming!)
It matches the color scheme perfectly and I have wanted to do a luna moth for ages. In fact, I imagine several luna moths may be in my future! When we lived in Louisiana, I saw two different luna moths resting on trees and they just took my breath away with their beauty. Ever since, I have wanted to capture that beauty in some way. Now's my chance!
Tonight I'll go home and pull some fabrics and other goodies from my stash and see what I can come up with. I don't think it will be an embroidered piece per se, but I'm sure I'll use some embroidery thread in it somewhere. I'm not certain just what direction I want to go, but I'll figure out something. WooHoo! ;0)

If they haul you off to jail, ask if you can take your CQ supplies. I bet you could get a lot done! *wink*
That is an absolutely gorgeous moth picture and will look beautiful on your quilt.
Wow, what an amazing image. It will be perfect on your quilt.
I too like the idea of using the challenge to help us further our own agendas.
It is a BEAUTIFUL moth...I am working on a design...I have something in mind...but I am not sure of the execution. LOL
