the quilts always look crooked...lay them on the floor; have someone hold them; pin them on the way; put on a hanger...tonight both quilts I posted - I went back - looked at the pictures and they look crooked. The green soccer quilt is a little - I think I pulled too hard when I was quilting at the end - couldn't get the right touch and found myself gripping it white knuckle like. But its only a little bit off - 36.3 vs. 36. The other quilt I posted looks crooked but I measured it all the way and its fine...
They aren't great quilts - but their mine - but I have to find a way to photograph them so they don't look so bad....

There are lots of websites addressing the question of how to photograph quilts, but this is one of the best I've found for quilters, not photographers. http://www.hollyknott.com/stq/index.htm

I don't think it matters if they look crooked. You know they aren't. It's similar to a purple quilt I made that photographed blue. I knew it was purple, but it sure was blue in my camera.
Turns out I like it in blue so much that I made a blue one too!
Cameras sort of have minds of their own, I decided.
