... to hang my quilts outside.
The decking is finished around the shed and I can hang my quilts along the side. I'm thinking that I will request some strategically placed nails hidden under the overhang so I can avoid that shadow at the top. I don't think it is too much to ask.
It's a gorgeous summers day here. Long may it last. Lying on the grass to take photos of a quilt top with the sun shining through it is a rare occurrence.
I'm waiting on some more Kona White to add a simple border and then the basting will commence on this quilt. Meanwhile, there is a tonne of other stuff to get on with.

Oh, Susan - look at how beautiful it is in the gleaming sun! Glorious top-finish my friend.
ReplyDeleteSure, tell him you'll put in the nails if he doesn't. He'll go running with the hammer.
Much nicer with the warm colours added! Great photo backdrop....
ReplyDeleteWow you've made this one up super quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out wonderfully! It looks like a stained glass window with the sun coming through. Have you seen how Carla from CoraQuilts hangs hers on the side of her house? That might work for you too. I think she has permanent cafe curtain hook/clips attached.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and looks even more gorgeous hanging in the sun!
ReplyDeleteI love this and the gorgeous day you had makes it all the more lovely
ReplyDeletelooks lovely with the sun shining through it!
ReplyDeleteLove your backdrop ...perfect for quilting shots! Yep definitely get himself to sort you our some nails or hooks for future photo ops.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt Susan- seriously love it!
Great almost finished top... The she'd is a perfect background. Love Cindy's suggestion above and can totally vouch for it. Been there.. Done that :) let's just say he wasn't in a hurry to help until I pulled out the power drill and asked for his help to plug it in.
ReplyDeleteI'm so slow at commenting these days that you already have the top pieced and I didn't even manage to tell you how much I love it with the warm tones added. (Although I still love the cooler colours version, too).
ReplyDeleteThat photo with the sun shining through sings perfect summer to me :)
Looks fab, and nice progress on the new outdoor sewing studio! ;o)
ReplyDeleteOooh, you're right, perfect new backdrop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day hoping there will be some more over the weekend. Gorgeous quilt and a great location to hang the top. I am pretty sure you get your nails.
ReplyDeleteFinished decking, and not a boat to be seen! :D looks fantastic! Do you need emergency white?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant pics! What a great prop for photographing your quilts. Jxo
ReplyDeleteThe sign of a confident quilter : letting us see her seams!
ReplyDeleteYours are purrfect.
Pretty restful colours. I have the same problem with over-hang!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Susan and happy you have some English sun. It's horrible here today - 40°C. Bleugh. I'm continually looking for a new place to take shots so I'm envious of yours especially as it involves decking :)
ReplyDeleteI liked your cool colors version when I first saw it, but when you added the warm colors...wow! It turned out really great. Great spot for hanging quilts.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Why not ask for a couple of custom-made coat pegs rather than boring old nails?!!
ReplyDeleteHelen has a point! I'd go with coat hooks .... But the quilt is looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt x
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt, all my fav fabrics, and your decking looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful top - Looks great with the sun shining through!
