Graph Paper

Did you know you can print graph paper using excel templates?  I often use a lot of graph paper and handfuls of colored pencils to doodle, plan, measure and determine possible quilt patterns.  I have quilting software I use, but there is something deliciously grade school about it all.  Plus, I get to do it sitting at my desk.  I am finally starting on a modern quilt for our living room.  Browns and reds with a shock of orangy-yellow.  Thank god the new quilt shop here has opened.
