I'm offering this free quilt pattern for you to practice before ordering a custom quilt pattern. Indeed, this eye's pattern represents the most complex part of a quilted portrait.
It'll help you get familiar with my pattern terminology, access the integrated tutorial, and see that once you can make this eye, you can tackle any of the 3 plans in the "Custom Quilt Pattern" section - whether it's the Start Plan, the Challenge, or the Skilled. It's just a matter of patience. The more pieces you have, the longer it takes - like a puzzle.
But it's not necessarily harder.
For any questions, I'm just an email away, ensuring prompt responses within 24 hours. Happy quilting!
Fabric tip:
I understand how stressful it can be to search for and find skin tone fabrics that accurately portray relief in portraits.
That's why I created this pattern using a bundle, which I offer access to via the link below. There are 4 skin tones included and I've highlighted the corresponding colors in the pattern. Feel free to give it a try.
However, please note that I haven't personally tested this bundle and cannot guarantee the exact color match. Always remember that there may be a difference between what you see on screen and the actual fabric shades once in your hands.
