You can also tape the mirrors together and use them - I used mirrors this way when I was taching to help students see patterns in math and other subj. areas. This method really helps students that have problems with different subject matters. I know at one time you could purchase these mirrors at some of the office supply stores. But I think the photoshop works better, because you can do the entire quilt all at once and change it all about to whatever design you want.
