I would leave the faces blank. Can't wait to see this finished.

I second that! It is in the eye of the beholder.

Leave the faces blank but add french knots for the buttons and something for the arm patch to make it look more like a uniform.

agreed that the faces are fine blank. The idea of different shades for skin is a great suggestion. I love the idea of your quilt. Keep going!

Please remember that this is a WIP and is no where near being finished. I'll also attach the photo that inspired me. Or if you think its hopeless and I should just chunk the whole thing.... tell me that too.

I would leave the faces blank. Nice idea. Will we see the finished project.

I have a friend that paints faces for the ceramic dealer here. Possibly someone like that could help. If you can't find any one you could send them to me & i could have her do it, probably wouldn't be that much. Good luck Linda
