I'm taking a class online at Quilt University called Fabric Portraits. Here is my line drawing. Now I have to find fabrics! I'm sure this will require a trip to the LQS as I tend to buy bright colors that surely will not work for a face! :-D

I must admit that the instructor had to help me with the drawing.

Please keep posting as you go along with this, I would love to see this as it unfolds :D:D:D

This looks so complex. I love your work. I will enjoy watching it evolve.

That's great and very artistic. It's something I wish I knew how to do. I'm making a quilt with "images" of my daughter & her fiance on a beach blanket and because I can't make the real faces I have to make them whimsical with button eyes, over sized noses and funny mouths.I don't know if I could find the right fabrics to shade the faces, I think it would be difficult at least for me. Please post pics when done.

Good luck with this! Can't wait to see it!

Yes, good luck!

Please post pics as you go along. I would love to watch this being made.

Wow I hope you update us on your progress on this. It's gonna look great.

So far so good!

Can't wait to see it finished.

Oooo, looks very difficult to do. Nice work so far, looks just like him.

Yes, it does! Keep us posted :)

would love seeing this step by step, fasinating!!

This is going to be a fascinating journey!! Will enjoy watching your progress!!

This looks so exciting. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Totally awesome!!!! I don't think I could even quilt stick figures.

Found some fabrics that should work. I had nothing like this in my stash.

Update

great. watching for more updates

I think his eye slipped! LOL

None of it is fused down until it's all done

The line drawing looks like the pic... great job.. can't wait to see it as you go.. keep posting pics please :)

This is hard! But when I step back I can see it coming together.

You're doing great!

Can't wait to see the finished quilt. I have always wanted to do this.

Great job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Getting there! Once I decide I don't need to make anymore changes I'll press it down and start the thread painting part.

That is very very good!

wow! I could never do that!

Trying out this background

Oh this is going to be wonderful, thank you for sharing with us!

Another background option

Here is the finished portrait. It really was not nearly as hard as I expected and I'm pleased with the results.

I asked my hubby to please find a "rustic" board to make a frame and he went out and found one hanging from the neighbors' fence (most of the fence is long gone). Only thing is, the board is so rustic it will take weeks to dry out.

AMAAAAAAZING!!!
*cringes*
Sorry to be so loud, but that is absolutely amazing.

That is going to be very challenging, but extremely fulfilling:>) I love doing faces

Wow, didn't see your progress pics! Very very nice! GREAT work!

What a great job! I'm so glad you posted your progress. I so want to take this class - when I retire. Thanks again for sharing your progress.
