Silhouette Quilt

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Traditional, Cute, Whimsical


Materials

fabric, digital photos,pellon, batting, ribbon, thread,

What was your inspiration?

My granddaughter's preschool is having a silent auction and my daughter asked me if I would make a quilt. I thought the silhouettes of the children would be fun to do.

What are you most proud of?

The profiles were identified by my daughter and granddaughter from the quilt.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure the pictures are taken at the same time and the same distance if there are going to be more than one silhouette on the quilt. The contrast of the profile and the background needs to be distinct. Otherwise, try to define the picture in editing software.

What a beautiful quilt! We are going to make a silhouette quilt for my daughter's school auction. I was wondering if you can tell me the dimensions of your quilt and the whte squares. Also, can you tell me more about how you used digital photos to make your quilt. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work!

What a lovely idea. Your silhouettes are beautifully coordinated. I can see the importance of your advice. Bet your quilt was a unique item in the auction and garnered many bids.
