Pretty Spaces Square (6" or 12" inches)(3 pics)

[champygirl]

It's going to be a long while before I can get a good pic of the 12"inch square up, I don't have a digital camera and the disposable camera I have was already filled up. This is my first 12" inch square pattern and is a little more intricate then some. If any one find any errors or have any problems with pattern please give me a pm. Thanks.
