      Thank you Sara. I remember that I made a foam print block for this, and it was easier to cut squares than anything else.

      this is so beautiful I love the way the little squares on the edges relate to the large square base and of course the color is wonderful too!

      Beautiful. Love the detail and the way you have made a traditional pattern quite contemporary. I have a Ukrainian paisley tablecloth and have wanted to do a wall piece to compliment it. No designs I have had have been as good as this so I think I will give up and just admire your piece!!!
