Your quilting choices feel just right. What a beautiful finish! <br />All of my photos are amateur (because I'm not a photographer - I'm a quilter!), but I've found a way to show the quilting. I like to take photos indoors with natural light flooding in from one side (window). It creates shadows, which shows the stitching, and the colours stay true because there is no artificial light. <br />The outdoor shots I've tried are trickier, but I have a rolling rack that I can move around so the light is angling across the surface, or shining through the quilt (just for fun!). I've also laid quilts out on the snow, which has worked okay, too. (OH, and sometimes I pin quilts to my Styrofoam design wall and take it outside. Portable and positionable.) I just take a lot of shots from different angles until I see what I like. It is hard to see on the phone but, if I have time, I can check the shots on my computer screen and go back for retakes. I do think my outdoor photos turn out better in early morning or in the evening when the sun is lower in the sky and the light is softer.<br />Not all of the photos I post are stellar, but sometimes a quilt goes out the door so fast I have no time to fool around! (or to wait for daylight). And, sometimes I just make mistakes (user error)...but again - Not a photographer! Just a quilter who loves to share ideas. :-) <br />Of course, all of this comes from a person who takes every photo with an android phone and doesn't edit, so...grain of salt suggested!<br />One other thing - I've taken other people out of the equation. I've found that people tend to complain after the hundredth shot when I want "just one more". Ha! (Easier to experiment on my own time.)Carole @ Fresh off the Framehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022547397680969012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339518921686187194.post-54992619943353907242015-11-27T09:46:35.682-08:002015-11-27T09:46:35.682-08:00Your ZigZag quilt is oozing with beautiful, creati...Your ZigZag quilt is oozing with beautiful, creative drama.

I love how you quilted it, seems like you and Louise are quite a team now, yay.

Slightly more than a second later I've read all your back posts and have to tell you how great it's been to read your process, your design progression and something of your thinking at each stage. Your finished quilt is WOW, just fabulous.

I can see it draped on a sofa in front of a fireplace...<br />I'm also a big fan of finishing the binding by hand. Yes, the action is very relaxing and we can enjoy handling the quilt during the stitching.
