Pictorial Quilt of My Husband

I recently finished this quilt based on a photo of my husband.  It's the first pictorial quilt I've done of a person. Skin tones/features are tough!  Still I am pretty happy with the outcome.  The finished quilt measures approx 19.5 in square.  It is machine appliqued and quilted.  
 Here is a detail photo.
Here is the original photo.
