Designing fabric portaits/quilts using photoshop

Step 13The quilt portrait

The quilt portrait
At this point you dig through your fabric stash and try to match the colors as closely as possible. For this project, I used iron on fusible to fuse the pieces to the background, then use a narrow satin/zigzag stitch in matching thread to seal the edges. On other ones, I have used needle turn applique.

This is the finished piece. I'm sorry I don't have photos of the steps I went through picking the fabrics and the assembly process, but I had already finished before I decided to make the tutorial. I hope to add one soon of a horse quilt block I did.

You can check here for the way I assembled a horse applique block: fabric portrait of a horse quilt block:
