When I was a decorator I would help customers picking wallpaper patterns by taking the book and walking away from them. I know they thought I was crazy! But that teeny tiny little purple flower that exactly matched their bedspread just disappeared when I moved it 4 feet or 8 feet away (which is how we view our walls, not with our noses against them). Same for quilts. Even if you put the bolts on the floor, it helps to be 6' tall, but a different prospective than right under your nose. Walk back a few steps and move them around until you are pleased. Not one shop has ever even commented on me doing this, much less disapproved!
