This kwilt was in the works for a couple of years!
It all began as a swap with my work guild.
I finished the top and it went into my UFO pile!
Then finally it hit the "big" machine!

Meandering softened the view.
All done.

It is sew much prettier than my photos!

Any suggestions for photographing batiks?
Why not make it modern? Try solids. Leave off the borders.
What about a baby kwilt? Something masculine for
your favorite guy? Team colors?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Kathy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt. Congratulations on your finish. I have no idea how to take pictures of batik quilts...for me it all depends on the day outside!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love the colors you chose :)
ReplyDeletea beauty for sure, sorry cannot help with the photos, always pot luck with me
ReplyDeleteGorgeous kwilt, Kathy! Love how the meandering turned out. If you want to ask someone for advice about photographing batiks, Connie of Freemotion by the River may be that gal. She loves her batiks!
ReplyDeleteYou have several good pictures of it. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAvoid direct sunlight for your photos, it's gonna create the reflection bouncing off your quilt. It will also create deeper shadows from the quilting. Slightly overcast days are great because you still get sunlight without it being too harsh. Also, if your camera has a white balance / light source setting, put it on daylight to try and get rid of that blue cast. It can still be a lot of trial and error with temperamental lighting conditions!
ReplyDeleteIt is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish, Kathy! I don't have any tips for photographing batiks. To be eligible for OctoberQuest 2 prizes, you need to include a link to the TGIFF! party in your post. When you've done that, please link up again! Thanks!
