    I’m also afraid of messing up my quilt! Be sure to make some practice Quilt sandwiches to work on first! I roughly drew out the hair shape on a practice sandwhich as that is going to be the most complex if I do fancy stitching on it. That way I will hopefully have more of an idea of what I want to do when I get to the real quilt.

    I'm going to give your suggestions a shot HelenW and Padma. But I've never done any FMQ before and I'm pretty terrified. LOL.

        Thank you Alex for this face challenge which has taken me out of my comfortable box and helped push my creative limits. I will be making more faces! (I hope this photo isn't sideways!)

        Kudos!

              Roxanne, I don't free motion quilt. I draw my design on with frixion pens and then just stitch on the lines. You stop with the needle down position to pivot. Hopefully
              you a hover position on your machine, where it stops with needle down, and the presser foot is about 1/8 up so you can pivot easily. Use it all the time. It works great.

                The best advice to myself was to keep telling myself : "don't over think it!" That kept me going and to just have fun. Thank Alex for a fun topic and nicely paced steps!

                  Done other then a couple of spots where I want to put a couple of other things in my life once I get the fabric I need. Snippets for hair, things that represent my life i.e. 4 cats, 4 homes, antiquing, quilting, love my shoes, waterfront home, 4 states where we’ve lived, allot of driving, gardens, shop till you drop...which of us doesn’t do that. I never thought I could achieve making a face that looked like anything, guess I was wrong!

                    Getting ready to fuse her down. I used circles to represent things about me to the right and top. The circles to the left represent my granddaughters and things we do together. I did not want to cover the hair as it not only represents my natural curl but also the design looks like one of my favorite designs to use when I longarm quilt.

                      Done! I stitched almost all of it free motion.

                          Used my selvages and thought they'd make perfect hair. The face pin has the initials of my 6 grandkids attached. Had fun doing this.

                            I had a real hard time relaxing with this project. I finally let go and just went with the colors.

                              This is my first time posting so I hope I get it right. I had a tough time with the hair - my sons say that I have OCD.

                                This was so out of my comfort zone but very fun once I got going. Greetings from Down Under.
