Angie...if I was a quilter, I'd have been in trouble! What a lovely site to find inspiration this week.
I loved all the fabrics, but this Scrappy Bundle-Dark reminded me of a fun Basic Grey group that was very 'quilty'.
For my main panel, I picked a collaged paper that had a strips of all the 12 patterns. In fact, Basic Grey sold their patterns as fabrics for some years. I cut the heart out before I die cut my panel so it would come over the edge to add visual interest.
I added a special button from my grandmothers button box. It's a nine panel pattern with tiny studs between the squares.
Did the sentiment make you chuckle? I have no clue how many stamps I own...heck, I can't remember all the stamps I have...but I know they are around there somewhere...and I'll go the extra mile to find just the perfect one...how about you?
Can't wait to see all the cards based on the quilts. Thank you, Angie for inspiring us this week!

How wonderful, Susan! And how true! I remember buying my first couple of rubber stamps. At a Houston home show, of all places. Company is no longer in business, but I still have them. But, I also have a few I carved out of erasers before I bought those. My DD & I used them to stamp plain wrapping paper.
