Photos are so useful in the creative process and you're sure right about blogging! I love blogs with lots of photos. I keep forgetting though to take more photos while I'm making something. I think I get so into the project at hand that I just forget!

Your quilts are all very lovely and your rooster is so impressive, I'm feeling inspired to give one inch squares a try. 😀 I love your photo tips and agree with both! I've saved many quilts by looking at photos first. I'm also trying my hardest to adopt a Just Do It mentality - thanks for the reminder! Happy to have learned a little more about you. 😊Gypsy Moon Quilt Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10601910337450519423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-63960321195283013882016-06-14T21:40:51.734-06:002016-06-14T21:40:51.734-06:00That's great advice Melva!

I used the method where you lay all of your blocks on fusible interface, iron them down, and then sew the seams. If I ever make another pixel quilt I will NOT use that method again. It was awful for me.

Even when I'm sewing, I find that taking pictures of different layouts allows me to look at my projects differently. They tend to look different in photos than in person.

I may need to borrow your idea. It is very convenient that with technology we have digital photos and instant access to the photos. Not like years ago when you had to finish a roll of film and wait for it to get developed... and then be disappointed if the pictures were not quite right.
