Good use for a digital camera

When working on a sampler I take a photo of each block, size it down to about two inches, and print them out. After trimming them I can then play at laying them out, like working a jigsaw puzzle, without handling the actual blocks. I take a photo of each layout and then do a comparison.

Agree agree.... i've been using my phone to take photos for a long time instead of a design wall...for block and applique placement - i need the "memory aide" once i start construction !!

I've done that. It helps me to remember what order to sew blocks in. It is especially helpful when the quilt is bigger than my design wall.
I am also thinking of using it to figure out what pattern(s) to use for quilting my tops. I think I saw that idea suggested somewhere or heard it in class. Take a picture of the quilt, print it out, and use an plastic overlay (even used a sheet protector as a drawing surface) on top to work on.

Also good for testing out which border fabric looks the best. Something about it sure has helped me out many of times. When my guild gathers for a work day we are alway snapping a photo to determine light/medium/dark and good vs. great layout of blocks.

I also use the camera on my mobile phone when trying to co-ordinate fabric in my LQS, I seem to get a better idea when I am concentrating on the photo and an not distracted by all the other lovely fabrics around me.
