How Technology can help with design...I should be doing other things, but they aren't as much fun so sharing a few new Tartan and Checks for the Cal to come this week...
Just a little playtime, the one round granny squares aren't joined for these picture.  t
They will be when i decide on the final blocks, but just so you can see whats possible with these little gems...

A slightly more sophisticated check/tartan with this collection of mini squares 

checks or stripe combo's can be achieved with the one round granny square 

still like little pennies, but they will be joined at each corner when the final block is decided on..enjoy
