The photo on the left is how the abstract modern portrait quilt looked when I posted about it last week. I still wasn’t satisfied with the fabric selections for the groom’s neck and ear, so I changed them again. I also decided the first background was too dark, so I changed it to a print with more white and less black. Then I nudged all the pieces into place and fused them to the black background.
I quilted only in the black lines between the colors. This added some dimension to the faces. On the black & white leaf fabric, I quilted more densely to flatten it a bit. You can see the quilting lines on the back of the quilt. I added a thin black binding to finish it off – and of course, a hanging sleeve and a label.
