used muslin for the back, like a 1/2 yard. cut scrap pieces contrasting fabric into pieces of people, furniture, etc. cut interfacing about same size or smaller and ironed pieces to fabric people/ furniture. then ironed it to muslin in a picture. then hand sewed/ embroidered the pieces to muslin. this was fun and a bit time consuming, but it is a pic of me and my girls that I made when my youngest was a baby. brings back memories. framed it and it hangs in my room :)
