Today's CAS and TLC challenges inspired me to try making another "quilt" card. Partly because my grandmother was a real craftswoman - knitting, sewing, quilting, embroidery - she was never idle. And also because I've always meant to try another quilt card. I only ever made one:
I did that one a few years ago and was never that happy with my choice of papers, and I didn't like having the sentiment cover so much of it, and it was a bit sloppy with gaps between the pieces of dp.
I'm much happier with this version - love these two patterned papers together, and I did a better job of placing the pieces. I also prefer my smaller sentiment. I stamped it on a tiny tag and attached it with a bit of twine and an old button - both of which make me think of my grandmother as, having gone through the war in England, she saved all her old buttons and bits of string!
Thanks to the CAS challenge for making me think of my grandmother - she died quite a while ago at the ripe old age of 101 so I have many memories of her over many years.

Susan, this is a beautiful quilt design and I really like it in traditional Christmas colors. How wonderful to have such great memories of your grandmother.
