Using your phone for block layouts is a terrific idea! Thanks for posting this!!

My iPhone and iPad are both important tools. I save my pdf patterns into books and kindle (I’m a belt and braces kind of person). I take photos so I can see the bigger picture (I’m registered blind so without taking photos all my projects look like colourful blurs as I only see in best focus four inches from my nose and even then it’s slightly “smudged”). And I use folders within my notes app (with photos) as my quilt/ stash/ project planner. What I especially love is anything I do on the phone syncs yo the tablet and vice versa

Good tip especially for new or beginner quilters! Have done this for years especially after I’ve laid out all blocks before making into quilt. Actually do this when decorating also as the camera sees things the eye does not. Thanks for all your helpful tips so enjoy your site👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

I always take pictures of various quilt layouts, but have never taken them in black and white. Great idea! 😊
