I lay them on the living room floor and head upstairs (looking over the railing into living room) until I am high enough to see the whole quilt in my camera lens... then I take a picture. I also have a quilt that hangs above my headboard, so if I can't do the stairway thing I remove the quilt above bed and hang one I want to photograph up there and photograph it from the foot of the bed. I'm not super fussy when taking the picture, as long as it is clear. I also don't do a lot of fancy FMQ so I don't worry about that the quilting can't be seen.
