When I shoot in the sun at that location, the light is usually harsh, so we waited for softer lighting, which we were beginning to loose as we played with settings. Perhaps I'll try a "magazine" shot when I finish the matching tote, perhaps a different camera. It was just a little heart wrenching that my pictures didn't look like the quilt I made.
All of these warm, wonderful comments have proven that the quilt is fine. Many comments have even brought tears to my eyes. It's just a slap in the face that as a former photojournalist (pre-digital), I can't make a quick shot count. My new quest - a good quality photograph of this quilt, for my own satisfaction.
