Here is my Christmas quilt card using today's colors of Real Red, Very Vanilla, and Wild Wasabi. I made this card a while back with a whole bunch of my friends, and by the end of it - it tested our friendship!! LOL!!! Seriously, making a quilt card like this will TRY your PATIENCE!!!! Our friendship survived.....but I must admit I haven't made a bunch more of these.... Try one- it will probably be ENOUGH!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

I love this! I've used that technique before (I even called it a "quilted look") but never thought of actually making it look like a quilt with card stock pieces (Duh!) Beautiful!

I'm a quilter, as well as a card maker. This block is traditionally called the Lemoyne star-- and it's stitched with tiny set-in seams, difficult to do with points matching. So, why should it not be difficult to simulate with paper? Actually, you did a beautiful job. Absolutely love the colors and dp! Shall I try it in fabric?
