So many excellent ideas!

I have learned:

* Precision counts.
- if the fabric is cut correctly
- if the sub-units and blocks are the correct size
- then sewing the blocks together is SO much easier

* Using a gray scale helps me determine the value range of my quilt. My current quilt has a value range of about 2 or 3 through 8 or 9 (reading from left to right). Note: not sure how accurate this gray scale is - made it up.

* To use binoculars backwards. Somewhere / somehow I acquired children's toy binoculars (Carmen Sandiego's ®). Looking through them backwards reduces the visual size of my quilt and helps me determine is anything is too light or too dark. There was a huge dark splotch in the lower right corner and 11 blocks were pulled and replacements made.
