Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. These pictures are marvelous!!! They blow up beautifully and the details... sigh... they're wonderful. I love those horses racing around the border on the original. I'm so inspired to get working on my blocks - to heck with Christmas sewing.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so great if it could come to Australian for an exhibition. Melbourne first of course. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos. I was just in NYC and had no idea the quilt was there! I'm glad you shared these photos.Very inspiring!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the pictures. I have been comparing the pattern to the original and especially the changes to the border.
ReplyDeletewondering what the original background is. off white? white? eggshell?
I know the fabrics are aged but still would like your opinion since I am so jealous you got to see it in person!
hi deb it is hard to tell the colour of the background. I noticed first off how much green was used in the quilt. I am going back to nyc in january for the vogue knitting live and will take more pics then. Trouble is it is placed so high up on the wall. i would love pictures of the top of the quilt on an eye level. not going to happen. i will do the best i can.
ReplyDeletethank you everyone for your comments. k
WOW!! I am definitely doing the horses in the borders now - and with your photos, I can see just how much detail I want to add. Thank you sooo much. I am hoping to work on 2 or 3 blocks during my January holidays.
