To be totally honest, I should share what led to this project getting done.

Colin is the older brother of Molly. I began making a Pixel Quilt of her a couple of years ago using a photo that was taken at the same portrait session as Colin's. Although it was a labor intensive process, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it materialize (no pun intended). I have to say it was actually exciting! The quilt is made with 30 different fabrics cut into 1" squares and stitched into ½" finished squares (See Photos) I completed it in time to enter in our County Fair, then in a local quilt show and was absolutely thrilled to receive ribbons in both events.

Now you Grandmothers know we can't do something for one and not the other. I wanted to find some way to create a project for Colin, too, but one that wouldn't be quite so involved. When I saw the cutting method here on QB I knew I'd found it.

I was lucky enough to get the download of Trudy's tutorial while it was still available. If you look at her threads you will see that she is working on a more complete version of it and has promised to post if for sale here in the Classifieds.

So, to paraphrase... "Now you know the rest of the story..." :-)
