I'm not sure I like doing these. I am working on a Mystery Quilt by Ester Aliu called Hearts Desire. I have done Block 1, Blk 2 and Blk 3 (there are 3 of the blk 3s). I am not pleased with the way Blk 1 looks with the other blocks will have to wait to see if I will remake it or not.

Hi!Dina, So glad to meet someone else who has the same visual problem and think it might be why I'm disappointed at times how a project comes out. And that's why I need some kind of drawing or photo to have some idea what the project should look like. Luckily, I'm pretty good at picking out colors and prints but beyond that I have no idea what it will all look like. Chris
