She doesn't quilt, I do. Am I this nice a sister? I haven't decided yet if I want to tackle something like this. Assuming I decide to take the plunge, anyone have suggestions?
I would do it the same way I do photos. Enlarge the color picture of it that you will be using, then cover it with a piece of clear plastic and trace it with a sharpie. With a piece of paper behind the plastic you can have it enlarged to the size you want and that will be your pattern. I trace each piece onto fusible, fuse to the fabric, cut out and assemble onto the background. Now you are ready to stitch. It takes some time and patience, but taken step by step it is possible.
