Weekend finish – 2015.05.10

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.
