Do they use miniature furniture & other props when taking photos of quilts for magazines? Why else would the pieced blocks and quilting stitches look so large - even when the sample quilt is draped over a sofa or chair? I know a 4 inch block doesn't show THAT much detail from a few feet away! I have always wondered about this - I used to crochet a lot and the stitches/rows looked so much bigger in the photos than mine would when I made the same item. Just curious.

ha! that's a good question!

Take this as a compliment from a fellow blonde turning gray.

My avatar photo is my Son in Law, my daughter, me, and my other daughter freezing our behinds off in San Francisco while wearing sandals. (it was July)!

They are close ups to show the detail. (I was a bottled blonde once upon a time.)
