 Here's my take on 'Squares'




I got the inspiration for the 'Faux Quilting'  from a card I commented on last week - But I can't remember who! It was amazing - if it was you PLEASE shout!

The 'patchwork quilting' (squares) are sewn onto a piece of gingham look DP (squares) and is then covered in pieces of shiny mesh (more squares) before being adorned with a few more squares and one or 2 circles!
