Lots of Crinkles


I made this quick little quilt the other day - just some simple piecing (inspired by photos I saw on Elnora's instagram feed) and a flower motif for quilting in the center of each block.  I use the flower design for quilting quite often but I have never had a quilt get so crinkly!


While I really love the crinkles, it made it challenging to photograph.


I tried different angles, different lighting situations - even different camera lenses but the result was always the same - the crinkles won!

    Did you wash it before the photos? I try to do my photos before washing so I don't have to fight the crinkles as much. Cute quilt!

    It is gorgeous! The crinkles on my quilts always win but I think that has more to do with my lack of photography skills!

    Crinklier the better! I think that's why I'm still not quite in love with straight line quilting.

    What a cute quilt! I love the simple design - really lets the fabrics shine. This is an interesting question about how to photograph it with the crinkles. Maybe a polarizing filter would help? I'm just guessing....

    Crinkly quilts are the best! But I've had that problem too with taking pictures of it. But this looks so cute!

    The crinkles won... as they should! I love that you photograph your quilts post-wash. That's when they're the best!

    Very pretty! This is a very Plum and June quilt - I knew it had to be one of yours just from the thumbnail photo that popped up in my reader.

    love the colors of this quilt and love the snuggly crinkles! I usually take my pictures before I wash my quilts so I don't have to worry about them. Well, that and I'm extremely impatient. But we'll blame it on the crinkles. haha!

    Cute and crinkly! Crinkly and cut!

    I often find the same problem in photography. I've started doing some reading on it. Hopefully I find a solution and will share it. Buuuut probably not. :)

    It is so pretty, crinkles and all! Crinkly quilts make me so happy :D. I've started taking my pictures in the morning shade and that helps a little, but sometimes the crinkles just want to be seen!
