Graph Paper
#21
I use it a lot. When I see quilt pics I like on TV or in books, I get my graph paper and try to recreate the blocks if I can to see how it goes together. I also like to use it to experiment with color placement. Sometimes I use it just to doodle and play around with block ideas or border ideas. I don't have eq programs. So it's old school all the way for me (0:

I certainly use it. I was excited to find some pads in the mark down bin at the grocery store recently. That and Elmer's washable glue was there too. I stocked up.
Graph paper makes things so relative and visual. It's also very portable so I use it when I'm away from my machine too.

I use Excel (with the grids changed to squares like meyert does) to design the vast majority of my quilts...and I only make quilts of my own design. No erasing, no trees harmed, no paper storage hassles, no garbage. I also use Publisher, either alone or in combo with Excel.

I can download the type of graph paper I want at: <cite class="_Ee">www.printfreegraphpaper.com/</cite>
I use it to show others how the pieces fit together when they are trying something new. I even color the different pieces as if they were the quilt block colors.
Graph paper can be a valuable teaching tool or tool for understanding a block.
