Thanks for the tips.

You provide some excellent advice, thank you. I love to look at the pictures of quilts, but when the picture quality is poor, I wonder "Do they realize we can't see the quilt?" I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from posting pictures, but it is a shame when they do, and their work cannot be appreciated because we can't see it!

I do this with mine to give the viewer a sense of dimension. I also do my best to get a full shot of the quilt. Sometimes that means stepladder while standing over the futon, sometimes it means hanging it from the moulding around my studio door. Larger quilts will require hanging from our bedroom balcony, but since it's 100*+ at 9 am around here, that's not a fun prospect.

This is why I started my quilting blog. I was carrying around pictures of my quilts to show my friends and family, but eventually I got too many pictures, and I couldn't show them to people who live far away. So a girlfriend and I joined forces and started a blog. I am able to document the fabrics, patterns, process, any funny things that happened along the way, and I can share it with all my friends and family, no matter how far away they are. Plus, I've made a lot of new friends because of the blog!
