I invested in one of these years ago and use it all the time. JoAnns' sells them or you can find them on line.

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!

If you mean, ddnp it's a diagonal disappearing nine patch.

I like the unusual colorway.

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.

This is what I was saying also.

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!
