Bailey Mosaic Portrait Quilt Post #3

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.
