I saw this tutorial and absolutely flipped out over this quilting technique!
Resist the urge to be extremely detailed.
It will simply be too confusing.
If it starts looking like a crazy paint-by-number drawing, then you probably have too much detail.
Look for lightest areas and darkest areas to draw around.
The middle values get filled in as the piecing process progresses.
When in doubt, go big.
One rule of thumb: a face should generally beat least10 to 12 inches top to bottom.
Even bigger is better.
Imagine trying to create an eye the size of your pinkie nail.
Now imagine it the size of a golfball.
Make it easy on yourself and go bigger.
