How do I get QA to separate the colors?

How did you draw the curves in the portrait?  I have the tutorial for drawing paper piecing by Arnout, but I can't figure out the curves.  I looked at Ruth's website, but didn't see a description of her technique.  I have used freezer paper before.

Do you have a photo of one of your finished pieces?

What a pretty portrait!  Is this an original drawing?  Can you provide tutorial?

I was going to order the Tammie Bowser software, but since Quilt Assistant does the same thing I will only get Tammie's book.

I was only estimating 1000 squares.  The minimum size of the challenge project has to be 50x50, but I can go a little smaller if I add borders.

The finished product should measure 200 square inches -- 50 inches on each side.  In your example the quilt measures 13"x17".  In the picture I attached, I will convert it to black and white.

I'm doing the piece for a quilt challenge based on the Steven Speilberg film "Color Purple".

Lets fast forward to the finished piece.  Once I get all the settings right and end up 1000 squares -- how do I quilt it?  I assume I would have to have some kind of grid to place (fuse) the squares on.

How do I create a portrait?  This is what I'm doing -- I import the picture and choose regular pattern (squares).  I want to try and get as much detail as possible. So, should I choose 1 inch squares.  I can't figure out the rest.

I'd like the portrait to be at least 200 inches square.
