More on Frida

The art quilt I am making based on my AI image of Frida Kahlo is coming along.  

I have it layered with backing and batting.  The first stage of quilting is completed.  This was done with black thread, so it is barely noticeable on the front. but here is a photo of the back side. 

Even though it is black on black,  the lighting allows you to see it quite well. 

You may notice a strange bit of quilting on the left hand side of the back. 

Let me explain, first with a photo.

I did some free-motion quilting of my signature. So for that section I will just use echoing lines to fill in the rectangular area.  

Then it was time to choose threads for all of the other quilting.  Seventeen different colors will be enough, I hope. 

I may use all of them, only some of them, or I may add more color choices as I go.

That will depend entirely on how I feel at the moment. 

Here is a photo of just the piece after the black quilting. 

It is hardly noticeable on the front.

One thing I realized as I was choosing threads is that I have a limited number of brown threads.  I think I may need more variety there.  
But seriously, I do NOT need to buy more thread.

Until Next Time,
