I would put the back on the front. The photo/quilt/drawing lines all-in-one isn't doing it for me. It looks very Frankenstein-y to me.
I love the big blue quilt on the front, with a smaller inset of the photo. Maybe some of the diploma quilts on the back. Or flowers ;-) . Or some other motif.
I really think the quilt and photo will entice readers.
She's such a beautiful subject.
The only thing missing is the technique.
Make me buy the book (don't show me the cutting or anything else on the cover).
I'm going to be interested enough just from those 2 images.
It can't get easier.
I can see what I start with, and what I'm going to get.
You did people.
I immediately thought of flowers (when we have this conversation months ago).
You want to make it as universal as possible.
I don't think I'd (personally) do people.
But I love the idea of using the technique to create other images - whether they're flowers or landscapes or something else.
Show me some other options on the back.
