Very nice! I agree with the other ladies that posted you should do a tutorial on this technique. I too would love to do one as a tribute to my Boxer. Thank you for sharing!

I'll do some research on various ways that quilt portraits are created to try to figure out how much of Aniko's method is hers alone.
What I can tell you is that we did not use computers or sewing machines in class yesterday (the sewing will come later). The pattern was created using an enlarged photo, transparencies, an ultrafine sharpie, pencils, fabric and fusible.
The current status of the project is a fusible applique. I'll be adding thread painting and the background over the next few weeks.
I think one of the keys to a successful quilt from a picture is the quality of the starting picture.
I do go into a little more detail on my blog. And I will say, that my basic drawing skills stink, but I am pretty darn good at tracing...
Cheers, K

Yup. Got a few Champion Lapdogs at home myself. They get to come out and play once a year at the Nationals in Veterans class.
