Two years later I have finally finished K’s Citrus quilt. I gave it to her for Christmas.
I really wanted to photograph it against freshly falllen snow but the Grand Rapids skies have only been able to muster flurries so far this year. Which is quite odd. In fact, today I took the girls for a walk in the stroller. Usually this time of year the winds are bitter and the sidewalks are impassable with ice and snow. But today it was sunny and 52. A good time was had by all.
I also had a good time shooting this quilt. Even though on the day of the shoot it was so cold that my fingers froze inside my leather gloves. A pretty quilt can make one overlook such icy hardships. So here she is, in pictures.
I used my polarizing filter even though I wasn't photographing the sky or anything. I think it helped realy saturate the colors.
I bound it with Tula Pink's Prince Charming. It's got frogs. It's awesome. In a few spots I got it so the frog's eyes were peeping at you from the binding.
