Let me begin by saying I Don't Sew. Not a stitch. So it's kind of funny that I've become obsessed with making quilt cards, but that's how it is.

I've made a dozen of these cards so far and I'm not done yet. They are a
little tedious, but totally addictive! I love going through all of my
designer papers and choosing colors & patterns to mix together.
Each card starts with at least two 1-1/2" squares of designer paper.
Each square gets cut into 8 triangles-like this:

#1 - Line up the squares on the cutting track of your paper trimmer to make
the first cut. I hold them in place with Post-It Note Tape. Photo
#2 shows the squares after the first cut.
Continue cutting each triangle as shown in photo #3. Repeat until you
have 8 triangles (photo #4).
Assembly:
Each square is assembled on a 1-1/2" square of Basic White cardstock. Attach 4 triangles in the pattern shown, using a little liquid glue.

To make this design, you will make 4 identical 1-1/2" squares as shown in the
tutorial. Cut a 3" square of Basic White cardstock and adhere the 4
squares to it with the edges butted together.

For this star design, you'll adhere one completed square to the center of the
3" square of Basic White and arrange 8 more triangles around the center
square. The magic happens when you emboss it! I love this
embossing folder, it adds so much texture to this project.

The layer behind the quilt square is a 3-1/4" square in a coordinating color
of your choice. The white layer behind that is a 3-3/4" square, also
embossed. The last layer is a 4" square in a coordinating color.
The sewing machine is stamped in Gray Granite, one of my favorite neutral
colors. The strip of fabric in the machine is 1/2" wide, angled on both
ends.

This one is decorated a little differently with the basket of threads and
scissors. These are all included in the Crafting With You dies.
What a fun and clever idea Pat - I have a quilting friend who would adore this :) I love the little die-cut embellishments with the sentiments at the bottom of your 'quilts'. Thank you for coming to play at Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week. Vicky x
