    Default Chinese Red - Some Quilts are hard to Photograph

    Short of putting this lady's wedding gift out on the wet grass, there was no way I could photograph the quilting I did. Red on Red.
    She made this quilt for her nephew and his wife who brought the silk/tercel fabric back from a teaching stint in China. Her gift is only a year late but I know if will be appreciated.
    What you can't see are the chrysanthemums, dragons and phoenix I quilted into the red. Sigh!

    I use ctrl and the + key a few times on keyboard to get a good zoom in when I want a closer look and then can use arrow keys to look around a photo. Was able to pick up some of your beautiful quilting!
    Some programs have a symbol of a magnifying glass feature that does the same zoom in feature.
