Testing a block
#1
I have just received a request (paying request!) to make a quilt. There is no pattern available and am trying to make one from a pic. I have drawn up the pattern, figured the measurements 3 times....seriously taxing my brain.....and come up with the necessary yardage. I want to make a test block. Have you ever tried to copy a pic with no pattern? What tips can you give me?

I use Microsoft Excel. I format the rows to be a row height of 14.5 and column width 2. This way I can fill in the squares with color but easily move them around if and when needed. I also type the scale above the cells to easily calculate blocks or pieces needed to make a certain width.
