This swatch (printed by
Spoonflower) is based on a photo taken from the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with color changes made using
IrfanView's free software.You can read more about all this
here and
here. The design is on the left and the fabric on the right. Obviously, the image was cropped and repeated.
It's printed on upholstery weight cotton, which made the photography a challenge. In the end, I used the scanner. Click on the photo below to see more detail including the fabric texture and the jig-joggy angles of the buildings -- an unexpected and pleasant surprise when I edited the colors.

What a cool effect! I've been thinking about using Spoonflower to print up some pictures of rusty farm doors and oil tanks that I took, because I like the color and textures so much... Your fabric looks great!
