I wish I'd known about this earlier today while I was at the fabric store. I just found out that my smart phone takes B&W photos, what a bonus. I guess it's smarter than I am! :-)

Something else that can help is to stand back and squint until the colours look blurry. If you're reasonably short sighted, you can achieve those effect by simply taking off your specs.

I use a lot of fabrics, say thirty. I like to fold them up and put them in a stack, ordered by value and/or colour. The tricks of photographing them or taking my specs off help with that, too.

Thanks, I just used it. I took a picture of an quilt I made already and saw my attic windows look more like windows than they do with the color!

Thank you so much for this tip. I did download it took a pic of a quilt that I'm working on now with a few of the neighborhood kids. After it is altogether on my design wall I'm going to let them see it too & see if they want to rearrange some of the pieces before I sew all the pieces together. Thanks again
