What a fun technique to-day. Thanks Sabrina...for trying to drive me crazy! LOL If I had stayed with the instructions provided this card would not have taken me so long! But no....I just had to use a larger circle punch... sigh* . The yellow DP is from my scrap bag also the brown mat. I stamped the greeting in versafine black as the brown really didn't show up well because of the texture on the card stock.

Did the square calculator not help you figure out what size to use for a fold template, given the diameter of your circle? I tried it using it to calculate the size to use with a small circle - though I had to cut the square myself because none of my punches or dies were the right size. And of course the smaller the circle, the more "ease" needs to be allowed for the folds. I just LOVE your needle and sentiment stamp, and the way you've added the little cross-stitch stamped hearts to some of the quilt blocks is super-cool. The extra gem looks so perfect too, and I would never have thought of positioning one there.

What a fabulous sentiment to go with your "quilt", Sue. I should have put gems in the centers of my pieces......I never was good at being exact, and you really had to be for this technique. You are brave to try larger.......it was hard enough for me to use the simple directions!! Well done, my friend!!
