Reducing Glass

Below is a photo of a reducing glass. This can be a helpful tool when designing your quilt. In the photo at the bottom of the page, I have tried to show what happens when you look through a reducing glass.

The quilt squares on the design wall are reduced in size. (Notice the three house blocks on the left are much smaller when viewed through the glass as are the basket blocks on the right.)
