This was what Bailey's quilt top looked like the last time I posted about it.
The next section is her moustache. I needed to make sure that there was enough contrast between her moustache and her face and ears so that her ears were visible.
So I chose to use fabric that had a reddish cast.
This was the result.
(Keep in mind that this section has not been sewn together and that's why it looks oversized.)
Although I liked the shape, it was just too dark. Oy!
So I sucked it up andstarted over.
This time I used fabric that was similar in value to the inset of her eyes.
Better.
Next step is the bottom quarter.
not just better, much better! the do and redo is such an important part of the process. LOVING this quilt, I have 2 puppies (well full grown Bernese Mountain Dogs) with great coloring, I may have to follow your lead and make a mosaic

ReplyDeleteThat really came out nicely, fun way to make a quilt from a photo.
