One trick is to take a LOT of photos. I take many many pictures and look at them all on a large monitor/ edit them as needed. Also when youre shooting your scene, take the time to really look at what your capturing. It s hard with outdoor cell phone screens but I try.Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-10053070325753756182015-03-04T00:29:08.694-05:002015-03-04T00:29:08.694-05:00Thanks Kel!

I'm kind of partial to the Faded Glory print for the backing, but from your stash I kinda like the butterscotch and toile idea....<br /><br />Well, I don't think like your dad - you may have used a pattern but you added your own tweaks and adjustments as any artist would. And that makes it unique!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248202844330247654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-60427660281325470652015-03-03T15:23:46.788-05:002015-03-03T15:23:46.788-05:00LOVE IT!

It's just not a word I associate with a beautiful, warm, loving quilt.<br /><br />I'm with Wanda. My beach shots look nothing like your pics. I just can't seem to capture the same beauty you do. Perhaps because I'm surrounded by a different ocean?

I hope you post photos of the finished quilt when it is done..<br /><br />I am always inspired by your beach photos. I take a few when I walk my beach, but rarely are they worth sharing. At least I am inspired to walk!!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390069458274818263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-92089605940083487372015-03-03T10:34:08.936-05:002015-03-03T10:34:08.936-05:00Your post is sort of like an acceptance speech at ...Your post is sort of like an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards!
