Grid Pattern 1

Grid Pattern 1, a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

A few days ago, I made an image in Painter using a grid. As I was doing it, I thought about designing cross-stitch patterns on the computer (something I have done in the past). But I have also been told that it looks like a quilt. So I have been wondering what it would look like as a pattern. Tonight I used Painter's "capture pattern" and made a pattern from the original image. Then I used the "paint bucket" tool to fill a new image with the pattern. Then I cropped it, and here it is. Who knows, it might come in handy. I also did another image using this image in a pattern pen, and plan to post it here tomorrow.
