So we have been out of town for a week and vacation brain has taken it's toll. After an afternoon of chaining nine patches for a new quilt, I pulled off my lovely chains only to realize I forgot what order to put them in! A sketchbook beside my sewing machine seemed like a waste of time and redesigning had already wasted what little bit I had. So, I whipped out my little camera and took pictures of the blocks before I began sewing the next row. I now have a visual reference that only took about two seconds and just deleted them once the block was sewn. Getting fussy about photography isn't necessary.
This has also worked to audition blocks for a quilt without keeping everything scattered across the floor. Goodness!
