For some reason a picture lets you see something different than looking at it with only your eyes.

I check my color values (light, medium, dark) by taking a digital picture and converting it to black and white on my computer. By taking the color out I can really see if the quilt will be too monotone or have variety and movement.

My DH took a piece of wood, about 3 inches in diameter by about 5 inches tall, drilled a hole in the center so my seam ripper fits in it cutting side up. Then when I assembly-line sew my pieces together, I simply cut the attaching threads on the seam ripper.
