Go Ask Alice: A Wonderland Quilt

My friend got me some cute Kawaii Alice in Wonderland fabric for my birthday a... couple (?) years ago... 

Anyway, I had acquired some coordinating fabrics, and started working on this quilt... over a year ago. I had the top all pieced, sandwiched the quilt and started quilting it, but became extremely frustrated by lack of cooperation with sewing machine/quilt, etc... the stitching wasn't falling completely 'in the ditch' (for those not familiar with quilting parlance, this refers to stitching along the seam lines, so that the stitches actually sink into the seam/disappear). For some odd reason, I think because the way they had you press the seams versus how (the pattern) I chose to quilt it, it was frustratingly difficult to get the stitching to lie in the ditch.

So, I walked away (aka folded it up and set it aside) for a year. Finally pulled it out and finished it up!

Does anyone have any recommendations for taking photos of quilts? I can't ever seem to get good ones to show the entire top of the quilt. I've tried hanging them on clotheslines (but the wind blows them around or I can't get a good angle). I've also tried just laying them out on the floor and taking an overhead shot, but again I can't seem to get a straight-on angle, and then it looks all wonky, even when it's actually nicely square. I also have major lighting issues with a wide shot of this quilt. The close-ups seemed fine, though.
