A while back I finished this quilt. Then more recently I was looking for a picture of it in my 'finished quilts' folder to show someone and couldn't find it, leading to the conclusion that I hadn't taken any photos of it finished. So here goes.
It was a hot, sunny day and it's a pretty big quilt. I hauled it into my garden and used a couple of trusty bulldog clips to string it up on an old climbing frame.....
But I think I like the distance shot more. It shows the light-to-dark effect better. Shame it shows all the junk in my yard at the same time.....
Then I took a shot of the back, because if you're any sort of quilter at all, you always want to see the back...
And here's a close up of the back so you can scrutinise my quilting. It was machine quilted on my domestic machine, by me and my trusty machingers gloves....
Then I tried an arty shot, draped over a old wooden ladder propped up against a poplar tree. I think the sun was gently frying my brain by then.....
So I gave it up and went inside for a cold drink....
Hope you like it.
That quilting pattern worked out really well, didn't it? and I love the subtle colours of this quilt. Other people make those artistic shots look so simple - but they are really hard to get right. I like to get the whole thing in the shot - and sometimes it's about giving a closeup peek...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and I love your quilting. And the "junk" in your yard...it's not just you.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I like your quilting choice. very artful photo's, I hope the cold drink settled the frying brain!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your quilt - it is a lovely one and your quilting looks really cool too. I have discovered that one can spend ages arranging quilts for photos but then the first few photos are the best ones anyway!!
