what do you call the type of quilting.... It is amazing... I really love what you did... any tutorial in sight??? Is it appliqued, what technique?

thanks you for sharing

I call it Cut Work Portraits. My blog and albums show more. It is a reverse applique of sorts. PM me if you want more info, but the basics are on my graduation quilts threads.

It will only take a few minutes.

Yeah, I ran out of time. Usually do that though - thanks for the heads up!

I don't think she is allowed to say it but Trudy has a book available on this technique. It is called CUT WORK PORTRAITS AND OTHER ART QUILTS. You can buy it at Amazon.com or by going to her blog for cutworkportraits. Just go to her name on the board and you will find it there.
She gives several patterns but also teaches you how to make your own from your own photos. It's wonderful and you will be making these awesome cutwork art quilts yourself in no time at all!!!

LOL, can you tell I am a huge fan?

Linda - thanks I so enjoy that others like this technique - a little correction though - it is not on Amazon, only through my blog.
