I took several online classes from Quilt University.com. The technique I used for all three quilts came from Marilyn Belford's Fabric Portrait class at Quilt University. A talent for drawing isn't necessary to make these quilts as they were mostly traced from an enlarged photograph.

Really great work! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks so much! You'll not regret doing a fabric portrait of your granddaughter. The subject makes the quilt particularly fun to put together.
