I usually wash and dry the quilts after I photograph them, but I had such little time to finish this quilt that it had to be washed the evening before I could photograph it. So... unfortunately you can see the crinkle texture of the quilt, but not a whole lot else... Any suggestions on how to photograph a crinkly quilt?
Right after taking these photos, it went right into a box to be wrapped.
For the front of the quilt I used Kona Iron and Kona Pacific.
On the back I used a bit more Kona Iron and also some Lizzy House Constellations.
I had a hard time with this quilt. The pattern didn't suggest at all that any of the blocks might need to be squared up, so I didn't think about it. Since sewing this one together, the baby sized quilts for my friend's newborn twins have gone much smoother. I like the finished product, but it's not my favorite quilt to actually sew together.
I am happy to check this one off of the to-do list, though!

Love it!
ReplyDeleteI photograph my quilts after I've washed them and it usually works better if I take the pictures in the shade or in the evening when the sun isn't so bright. I love your quilt--and thanks for the warning about piecing it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great quilt for a guy. It is so hard to get something to be more manly I find.
ReplyDeleteWow, very nice. I love this. I think the crinkly look just adds to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! Love the two Kona's together. (Iron is on my "i wish i could buy a bolt of it" list)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Angela on taking pics, always out of direct sunlight, i find even dappled sunlight makes things look way more crinkly than they really are!
Your quilt looks fabulous. As for photographing, lighting is key. So different angles produce different results. I hope that helps. :0)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I'm using Kona Pacific for one of my backs - I really like that color!
