Portrait quilts

For some reason the computer doesn't want to show these in color. I probably did something screwy when I was scanning them in.

This is as close as I've ever come to doing an actual "portrait" quilt. The one of DH fishing was done using Katie Pasquini's Fractured Landscape technique, except that I didn't "fracture" the landscape once I had it done. The baby picture was for my sister's 60th birthday. That one was from Simply Amazing Quilted Photography (Tammie Bowser). These are done using tiny squares to make a pixilated picture.

I know I've seen ads in the quilting magazines for places you can send in the picture to have the pattern made. And of course there are many books covering the technique. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do.
