Little Miss Bright Eyes

LITTLE MISS BRIGHT EYES…(CHRISTINA)

34″ x 39″ tall

I decided it was time to make a quilt of Christina and chose one of her favorite childhood pictures.  I used it as an example for teaching the method to others.

Techniques: Mosaic Picture Piecing using a pixilated picture as a photomap. Heavily quilted.

Little Miss Bright Eyes (back)

Just for fun, I experimented with the back. Using the quilting designs as a guide I colored it in with colored pencils. It was a precursor to the “Looking Back” quilt which followed.

I received an email with a wonderful picture of my sister’s twin grandchildren.  How cute! – I kept coming back to it and wondering would there be a way to make it into a quilt???  Several months passed before my new piecing idea and my confidence grew to a point that I was ready to try it. It’s still a favorite–I have used it on my business cards.  I have found that though people don’t remember me— they remember this quilt!
