    If you scan down to the second item, that is the viewer. This is only one source, the first one I came across.

    You can also get one of those little folding two panel mirrors that will increase the view. Another useful tool that only costs a few bucks.

    Spending a little on this in the beginning will tell you right away it it is going to work as a full quilt. Good luck

    That looks like a handy little gadget. This one's going on my list!

    I like the way it looks. Good thinking on your part.

    I'm wondering if you put all 4 yellow corners together to make another block in itself if that would look better?

    I really like the first block best for a baby quilt even though the second block would be nice for an adult or teen quilt. You could call it D9P twisted. I have done the D4p with a twist & is very interesting. Your block is the same. I would continue with it.

    At first I thought it would be interesting but after seeing it next to the second block I see it's a little "off". Nice try. E for effort! We never know till we try something.

    I think I like it but I too have trouble visualizing what it would look like as a whole quilt! Thanks for sharing and keep
    us posted!
