This is a continuation of a previous post about the making of the Five Ladies art quilt. I uploaded hands from the original picture and sized them to fit the size of the pattern. Its interesting that I started with the face and hands... both are my nemesis. I've thought a little bit about putting sun glasses on all of them. Hmm, have to think about that. In the meantime, I've picked out some fabric for the outfits.
I looked at the fabric in my stash that I could use for the background, and all of my larger pieces of fabric were too light (blah) or too dark (dreary). So, off to the quilt store I went. And I went a long ways! One of my favorite quilt stores is called Stash, and it's 4 hours away in Walla Walla, WA. It wasn't too hard to talk my husband into a quick getaway for wine tasting and some nice meals out, and, of course, a quick stop at Stash.
They have the largest selection of fabrics for the modern quilter and I found a nice Tula Pink fabric. Here it is:
I made one of the outfits and pinned it up on the pattern. It is lightly sparkly and very fun.
I hope you like this quilt so far!
