The photo on the left is how the abstract modern portrait quilt looked when I posted about it last week<\/a>.\u00a0 I still wasn’t satisfied with the fabric selections for the groom’s neck and ear, so I changed them again.\u00a0 I also decided the first background was too dark, so I changed it to a print with more white and less black.\u00a0 Then I nudged all the pieces into place and fused them to the black background.<\/p>\n
