Greatful threads art group

I have been wanting to try and catch up with the finishes for this year so here is another one.  In January our "greatful threads" art group here is Chattanooga posted a challenge to make a portrait of ourselves .  The parameters were it had to be 50% fabric and the size was to be around an 11 x 18 (?) and it had to be quilted.  Well I did finish mine, just by the ringing of the last bell,,,lol

I really did enjoy doing this project and it was a stretch for me and my problem area was skin tone.  The only medium that is not on this quilt is oil paints.  So if anyone has any ideas on what is good for getting the skin tone on fabric I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks for taking a peek.
