Cool interactive design wall
Connecting Threads (http://www.connectingthreads.com/) has an interactive design wall (aka Design Table) that not only offers viewing options with color and print size, but it also offers a grayscale option for light, medium, and dark perspective. It's a great learning tool in helping you select fabric.
Have you seen this option at other sites?

I always wondered what that was, but never wanted to take the time to watch the video. It is a really interesting concept and certainly with figuring out the yardage for you there will be less error in under/over buying fabric. Anything that takes the math out of quilting is a boon for me.
Thanks for pointing out this tool, as I would have never used it.

You'll see under each swatch there is an "Add to design table" link. Select one swatch and click on the link. You will be taken to http://www.connectingthreads.com/cfF...esignTable.cfm
Under the swatch viewing box you will see radio buttons for COLOR: 100% 50% 25% GREYSCALE: 50% Only.
You can locate fabric swatches and add them to the Design Table (up to 8). You may move the swatches around inside the viewing box. You may also delete the swatches.
Play around with this app. to see how it works.
