I have lots of progress to show on the dog portrait I’m working on, last blogged about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I fused the portrait to a light blue background fabric.\u00a0 Then I outline stitched the nose, tongue and eyes, and thread-sketched the fur.\u00a0\u00a0 The threadwork doesn’t show up all that well in the photo below because the thread colors are quite close to the fabrics, so I’ve included a photo of the back, too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next I’ll add the borders.\u00a0 My client has requested blue-purple batik borders.\u00a0 In the photo below, I’ve pinned the border fabrics to the design wall to make sure they all work together.\u00a0 I was originally thinking to use the darkest fabric for the thin inner border, but it seemed too dark.\u00a0 Then I found a perfect medium-toned hand-dyed fabric in my stash.\u00a0 The outer borders will be joined with a curved seam as in the sketch below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I’ll layer the quilt with batting and backing, quilt the borders and outline key areas of the dog\u2019s head and body to add more dimension.<\/p>\n
