Will this be breaking a copyright?

an artwork that i love is copyrighted. i want to use (recreate)the artists artwork and recreate it into a quilt. not copying and pasting it to the quilt, but using my own fabric and copying the design they used in the art. example: lets say mona lisa portrait is copyrighted (i dont know if it is), and i want to make a quilt look exactly like her using only colored fabric and thread. will this be breaking a copyright law? how bout if i credit the artist?
