I got the mirror idea because someone makes a mini version (little stand with two little mirrors, only about 4 inches long and 1.5 inches high) ~ its mainly for coloring a small pencil version (one block or 1/4 of a quilt design) and seeing it before wasting any fabrics. Just line two mirrors up at 90-degree angles from each other.

my neighbor was redoing their bathroom, and was throwing out the old medicine cabinet ~ it had 3 nice mirrors, so we took the cabinet apart and salvaged the mirrors.

It is a great way to do one block of the real fabrics, and see what the whole thing will look like :)
