I did some doodling the other day, and think I have a plan, to include ALL my family (well, close family anyway). This will include my 6 grandkids, daughter & SIL, hubby, sister with her hubby, and their 2 sons, my mom and because of how it all laid out - me. I felt kinda weird thinking about putting me on there, but it needed balance.
I will make a bit of patchwork behind (as Maria did), in beiges, tans, whites, creams, peaches and pale yellows. Basically there will be a patch of all one color behind one person.
Then, I will use several different thread colors (brown, black, green, red, orange and blue) to create each person. Some will be face only, some all body, some smaller and some large.
I will do it in a weird sort of quilt as you go, so I can work with small bits at a time.
I want to put everything else aside and get busy! But, not possible. Too many other MUST DOs on the list first.
