I will put a back on it and bind it. As you can see I have done a lot of quilting on the background, but not much on the figure. This makes the figure stand out a bit and avoids the problem of all those lines in the face.
Here's a little closeup of the front.
Somehow I really think this piece needs a crisp, bold binding. Like this:
I will be so happy to be finished. I am so tired of looking at it that I have lost all perspective. This is the only significant piece I have done this entire year. But, there have been a few distractions . . .
Too bad you have to cover up all your beautiful quilting on the back.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa, the quilting is so beautiful, it is a shame to cover the back.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it is a beautiful piece alltogether.
It's beautiful...and the distractions have been good ones for the most part :0).
ReplyDeleteYour work gives me goosebumps.
ReplyDeleteIt's all those designs in my head that just lie there-I can't get them out. Well I can, but they somehow get lost in the translation from brain to fabric.
Your pieces just sing to me. Thank you.
it's beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing the whole quilt.
ReplyDeleteit's a stunning piece - I look forward to seeing it "live" one day.
ReplyDeletethose long drawn out projects do wear on the maker-I am sure you will appreciate it much more once it's totally done.
Fabulous! I'm curious as to your method to adding the back after it's quilted.
ReplyDeleteTerry, you may be sick of it, but speaking as one who has not slogged over it for weeks, and is seeing it with fresh eyes, it is really looking amazing, and I can't wait to see the finished piece! Well done!
ReplyDeleteShe really is beautiful, Terry. Trust us on this!
ReplyDeleteYour piece is stunning, from what I can see. You are such a teaser. My piece for this invitational is done, I am happy to report. I am thinking about revealing a portion of it on my blog, like you have. Good idea. Can't wait to see the entire piece.
