Now that's what I call inventive! Great idea.
As for moving your blocks, Jan, after you take your photo of the whole layout, use something light & portable to make a small design wall (foam core covered with flannel or batting). Lay out a section you want to stitch together on it, and transport the whole thing to the machine. You can cover it as you pass by him so he can't peek. You can work right off the board, and place back sections as you finish.
I'll bet that was clear as mud. :?
