More Whipper Snapper Quilts...

Hi folks, long time-no blogging, eh?! Well, I've got a couple more Whipper Snapper designs for you today using the newly released sets, Quilting Forever & Springtime Quilt. I've named my two quilts, Cherry Quilt and Comfort Quilt.

In my previous post, I talked about the pattern used in the Comfort Quilt card being a "double wedding ring", but after using it again, I realized it's not a double wedding ring pattern. If you know the pattern, let me know! The central heart is die cut with the quilt adhered behind. I also embossed the die cut chocolate layer for added texture and stitched around the perimeter of the opening. My sewing machine has been giving me tension fits, but I think the wonky stitching fits right in with the look of the card. Another smaller heart was embossed using my Scor-Pal and bone folder and then ruffed up on the edges a bit. Buttons and a sentiment flag finish this one off.



Here's my Cherry Quilt which uses K&Co. Classic K Margo paper along with PTI's Aqua Mist, all stitched together. Each quilt block is colored with matching Copics, layered on a scalloped square. I sponged the edges of everything with PTI's Vintage Touch Tea Dye Chai ink for a more vintage quilt look. I finished off the bottom of the patterned paper layer with a ruffled ribbon and button.



I've got another quilt (card) almost ready, so stop back soon for another one. Also, Mary commented the other day, wondering if I was going to post my Christmas card (which I said I'd do and still haven't), so keep your eyes peeled for that one as well!

Thanks for stopping in today~Amy

Amy, Amy, Amy! It's no wonder Anna picked you to be a featured designer - your work is sensational. I adore these two quilt cards and your creativity is astounding.

The quilt block pattern is sort of one like one called Cathedral Windows. But the seams are in the wrong place.

Pretty cards! This quilter approves!
