Shooting Squares Quilt

There aren’t many places in this house where you can spread a large quilt to take its portrait. The design wall in the sewing room is big enough, but there’s always something half-finished on it. When I want a shot of anything bigger than a table topper or a wall hanging, I usually lay it on the tile floor in the entry. Then I grab my camera, run up the stairs to the balcony, and aim. You wouldn’t think spreading a quilt on a floor would make a noise, would you? But every time I do, somehow from where ever else in the house  the cat is hiding, she hears me and comes running. By the time I’m to the top of the stairs, there she is, daring me to kick her off. So, no, I didn’t Photoshop a cat onto this quilt. The real trick is getting a picture of a quilt WITHOUT someone lying on it.
