In the spirit of shedding some light on the creative process, here is one of my abandoned efforts. You can read more about it on my blog. What do you see?
I'll say the same here as I did on your blog since I always like to see comments here.
I saw nothing but blobs at first, and then all of a sudden the face was there and now I can see nothing else. I really like your background quilting on the first one, but I suspect the effect is different in real life where the puffiness is more apparent.
Our new self-published book is now available on Amazon
About Twelve by Twelve
We are twelve quilt artists who embarked on an art challenge together. We're from different places throughout the world and our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting and a desire to play, experiment, learn, and grow.
For four years (2007-2011), we each made a 12x12 inch quilted art piece on a designated theme or palette. See our Theme Series and our Colorplay series.
For the 2012 Series, we changed things a bit and made rectangular pieces, 20x12 inches with roughly 10 weeks between each challenge. As before, we had a designated theme for each challenge.
We shared our process, progress, and results on this blog. It remains a key record of our rich collaboration.

Brenda,
It took me 2 days to see this on your other blog, I still have a hard time seeing it here!
Karen (and others) may find this diagram helpful.
What a beautiful face this is, did you draw that yourself? Or with Photoshop, how very clever!
Stunning use of negative space! I love this piece to death!
