Yes, I look at blocks and colors that are on my design floor through the wrong end of my binoculars to get some distance from the work and get a better overview. As long as no one looks in the window and sees me staring at the floor through the wrong end of my binoculars, all is well!
    Your quilts are so Bright and Cheery, Where do you find the time to do all the beautiful tops

    Love the binocular trick - beats a galloping horse! lol Once again, I love the originality and design of the quilt and the color layout is superb. Thanks for sharing.

    I tend to think through a Macro lens. You must think color and pattern even in your sleep!
