.....i have experimented with cut out frames before but in a more random fashion. for instance here and here. but today i thought what if i use that plaid graph paper idea for holes. they become much more like windows when you follow the grid.
.....i also wondered what if i use that double cloth i have with the check on one side. this idea added other advantages. it is 2 sided so i can use it either way. it is double layered so the frame will have some loft. it is double woven being consistently tacked together in a grid of woven stitches which give the frame stability against curving and i also love the tiny dots that actually quilt the fabric together. i like them visually and i am thinking about them structurally for another what if.
