I take my camera when I go fabric shopping. When I am picking several fabrics for a quilt project, I view them through the camera to get better view of how they look together. It just helps me select colors/patterns and make any selection changes, if needed.

I use the little dots in different colors to mark each row' that way all reds go in 1 row etc. With hst I have to pin the side that's sewn otherwise they go together wrong. I don't have a camers so have to be inventive.

As well as photographing alternative layouts of blocks to help in a final decision, I also take a few photos of the finished top when I am sending it away to be quilted. I am a pessimist with the postal system, although they haven't lost a quilt yet, and I figure it would be easier to show a photo of a missing item rather than describing it. (There have also been a few posts here about missing quilts and the comment is often "unfortunately I don't have a photo")
