Gridwork

So I went ahead with one of my ideas. I stitched some pieces of denim together by machine and used those narrow strips to form a lattice on top. I didn't use more than 5 strips either way, not the original 6, because I want to leave enough room to do something in the squares showing through the framework. I have just stitched it all together with a running stitch in white cotton so far. I'd like it to have a more frayed and worn appearance, so it's the washing machine next, I think...
