    It's done! and delivered! did the all over around the body, then thread painted just a tiny bit to quilt, the face was my most problematic....I did very little on the face.....so hoped it stay put!
    He and his wife loved it!
    Thank you all for your input, I am sure glad I found this site!
    I even learned how to resize (Finally) in paint. I'm on a MAC but use vmFusion. I found the tut that walked you thru it, although, not sure why, but I don't have all the components it noted, but my sil figured out a way for me to do it anyway! so future pic posts wont' be a problem (hopefully)! lol
    And the Names of God are the Chorus in the song this man composed (I made this quilt for him because of the inspiration of Faith that he has for our LORD. He composed this song after he accidentally chopped his 3 middle fingers on his left hand and he is a piano teacher!
    Anyway, thanks for looking and making the wonderful comments and suggestions.
