Trying to use the notion of personal icons, I came up with four images. I used fused scraps to make the leaves and the bark here. And I repeated the human form seen in another square in the tree trunk and branches.
A simple fused Mr. Moon. Lots of empty black space to fill, but how?
And a glimpse of the four corners that make the whole. The piece looks like a child's quilt and that was not my original intention. Still, I will finish it. I am nearly ready to add the batting, but am dragging my feet because I want to think about embroidery, beads, and other decorative elements.
Any suggestions from you, dear readers, would be appreciated.

I like the cheerful innocent feeling of the quilt. In my head I was finishing the lyrics "We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden.." Wasn't that it?
Have fun embellishing. I hear beading is addictive. Jen
I think this piece screams "bead me"! Its a fun piece to look at...try making the dividing borders narrower to see how it looks.
