Taking pics of quilts can be tricky because, well, Taking pics of quilts can be tricky because, well, they’re kinda big! Here are my 3 go-to favorite poses:
1. The twist
2. The fold over
3. The scrunch
BONUS! The double scrunch!! 🤪

When I first started quilting over 20 years ago I didn’t take pics of any of my quilts and now I can’t even remember most of them! I really wish I had some documentation of not just how awkward I was as a 15 year old, but what I was making and how much I’ve changed since then. 

I know it can feel silly taking pics of your finished quilts, but trust me, it’s worth the effort. Because if our kids get photo albums through the years, shouldn’t our quilts get them too? 😉💕 

Comment below if you would like more quick quilt photo tips 👍
