Last week Emma showed you how to quilt the tessellating design to create a super easy stitching design on your project. This week Tracey shows you how to create the same effect using Adobe Illustrator as she draws the Paradox Square. If you don't have Adobe Illustrator you can still follow along using paper and pencil and recreate the design. Have a go and see what happens.
