You can easily convert the pictures you've already taken to black & white using Paint.net. It's free to download & fun to play with. I use it often for printing black & white pictures on fabric.
Here are your fabric arrangements so far. I think the 3rd is the best.[/quote]
Michelle it was so nice of you to do that. I love the way everyone helps all of us. Thank-you. That was nice.

A really quick way to grade by values!

Yes! I've done the same and I keep the small red acetate in my purse for value testing at the quilt shops. Joann's used to have a handheld red glass tethered to the shelves, but that was years ago!

Quilters who I saw on an ol' "Simply Quilts" show, Pat Magaret and/or Donna Slusser, used to talk of the "Ruby Beholder". It's $8.99 if you Google it to find the site.

3-D glasses... who would have thunk it! Hahaha Quilters! that's who!

I think I would agree. Is it possible to put them in this order and then take a picture to post so we could see it? (Don't you love this board? It's like having a thousand quilting buddies over to the house but you don't have to clean and you can invite them any time you're ready, even the middle of the night!) :-D :-D

I totally agree about this board. It's 11pm & I should be in bed but here I sit going through every word & checking the links. You all are wonderful.
