Thanks, ladies!
Carol, yes, the second colorway is totally different. I had originally decided to do the mystery in constants, built around a large floral print that I'd bought for a border that didn't work out; but then I was won over by the Provence colorway. Then I got to wondering how those other colors would look, and since our workload was lighter this year in the early clues, I began working on the second colorway during clue 5. |
joe'smom, You have a special frame just for holding quilts so you can take a picture of them?
|
It looks wonderful, Lisa! I, too, like that light lavender running around the outside. Very clever.

givio, yes, I do. DH is too short to be my quilt display stand (LOL), so he bought me this one. This is the only spot in our house where I can get far enough away from a large quilt to get it all in a photo.
Thank you, audsgirl! Those lavender/neutral 4-patches were part of one of my failed border experiments, and I nearly forgot I had them. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to use them. I'm still not 100% sure, LOL. |
joe'smom, Do you have to sew a sleeve on the top edge of the quilt to use the display stand? Or does the quilt top attach to it a different way? Velcro? Glue? :-) Just guessing...
|
givio, I ordered a couple of heavy duty clips with the quilt stand, but my hands weren't strong enough to open them (I doubted whether anyone could have opened those things), so I constructed a sleeve that I pin on to quilt tops in order to photograph them. I do sew a sleeve on most of my quilts when I do the binding, in case I or the recipient should ever want to hang them.
|
Thanks for the info! I'd like to take 'straight on, forward facing, full view' type pictures of my quilts instead of laying them on my bed, but I haven't devised a method yet.
|
I am lucky enough to have a clothesline in my back yard. I love to take photos outside of my quilts! I am waiting fabric for one more border on my En Provence, then I will be done.
|
Lisa, your quilt top is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing the second colorway.
|
Thank you, Miss Rita! Will you be posting a photo of your finished top, or did you already do so and I missed it?
