Here is the third card I made with the cuts from my first F4A248 quilt card. I uploaded all three to show you the variety of cards you can make with just two solid and two dp cuts. Believe it or not, even after completing this third card, I still have some pieces left to use on another card. This die is GREAT FUN to work with.
As I mentioned on my second card description, it is time-consuming and a challenge for me to get each stitched cut pieced perfectly. It's also tough for me to get the frames cut perfectly. BUT I like the look and I hope nobody looks close enough to see the imperfections.
My late husband and I spent a fair amount of time in Amish and Mennonite country. I love quilts and at one time had a large antique quilt collection. When talking to these amazing quilt-makers, several told me it is their belief that a quilt cannot be perfect because only God can create something absolutely perfect. For that reason, they purposely stitch one piece that does not "belong." When I use this die I am keeping that in mind. Only thing is ... I don't have to put in a piece that doesn't "belong" because my frames and piecing aren't perfect to begin with. Hee!
Thanks for looking!
