We made this star quilt card at my last card workshop. It's a fun quilt technique, and a great way to use up paper scraps!
- Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
- Background panel: 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with dotted circles
- Square background mat: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
- Square base for quilt pattern: 3 x 3
- Quilt strips: 3/4 x 6 (four) pieces of patterned paper
- Quilt corners: 3/4 x 3/4 (four) white squares
- Center background banner: 1 3/4 x 6
For the assembly of the star quilt, layer two pieces of pattern paper diagonal to corners, letting ends overlap your white square. Now only glue the ends on one corner because you will need to weave your paper through on the next set. Layer two strips opposite corners and weave through strips already placed down. Once you have all strips lined up corner to corner and weaved through, you can glue all ends down. Turn piece over and cut off overhanging ends. Then glue the 3/4 x 3/4 white squares in each corner to create the star. You may add circles or gems to the center piece.
The Have a blessed day sentiment is from Unbounded Love stamp set.
