    I'm lucky if I have time to post a photo, let alone measure it out, but I can see how it would be nice to know. I usually put a pair of scissors or rotary cutter on the quilt to give reference.

    I usually reset my photos so the largest measurement is 4". Don't know if it's right or not, but it works for me.

    I don't think she doesn't mean the size of the photo, I think she means the size of the object in the photo. In other words, what size is the quilt.

    I don't know why that would help anything.

    I suspect she's trying to decide if the pattern would work for a larger quilt and to know if it's a minature or bed sized would help determine whether she wants to try it for a quilt. For instance a Carpenter's Star that is lap sized would require extra large blocks to fit a bed if you used the same pattern and didn't add extra rows.

    maybe so, but I don't see how the dimensions would help with that. Fabric calculation, maybe?
