This my card for today's WT challenge which is to use squares on your card. I used 15 squares on my focal panel. Darn it's hard to figure out placement to make it look okay. I finally stopped moving them around because it was driving me to one of those Swiss chocolates left-over from last Tuesday's Teapotter challenge. Heehee! So ... I inked up the focal panel and edges and double stamped the card base and ... . Adhered sentiment to card with SU dimensionals. I wrapped a brown tinted natural twine around it a few times but I liked the card better w/o it.
THANK YOU for looking!

Gabby this is sooooo pretty. I love the quilt pattern you created with these pretty papers. I'm trying to imagine the twine and I think it looks just fine without it.

Oh, I so know what you mean about figuring out layouts, Gabby. I had that problem last time I tried matching a patchwork card, and like you, I just went for it in the end and stopped wasting too much time. Certainly yours looks gorgeous - the colour palette is really beautiful. (Checked back on some PMs from you and ordered Signo pens today!).
