family project...

i use the term 'family project' pretty lightly...it's funny how most of our planned 'family projects' turn into...Jake doing it, and me trying to keep the girls out of his hair...oh well;)  So i got some good buys at an estate sale this weekend... first, a THOUSAND vintage fabric squares...
 and these gold frames...
I don't sew (maybe someday) so at first i didn't really know what to do with the fabric squares. I got a couple of great ideas from facebook friends...but i also had a can of spray paint that ive been waiting for over a year to use!! so we dug around for it and came up with this...
 while jake was taking apart the frames to spray paint one of the glass panels broke!... jake tried to convince me to just do 2, but i was pretty set on having 3 (i have a weird obsession with the number 3...but that's for another post;) so jake came up with the genius idea to lay the fabric squares on card stock then laminate them...ahhh he is so smart!

the end result!!  I LOVE IT!! what do ya think!??


now, what to do with the rest of the 973 other fabric squares?
