The look of a patchwork quilt... in a jiffy. |
The folded triangular edging is called Prairie Points (or Somerset Patchwork). |
You can engineer where the Prairie Points fall to make fancy closures. |

Here's how to make paper patchwork, pronto:
1) Cut out the shapes.
2) Layer the shapes. You can glue them with tacky glue or fix them together with d/s tape. Camouflage the link in the middle of the uppermost patchwork shape with a smaller contrasting shape - or with one of my printables. Simple! The finishing touch: mock stitching drawn with a Zig Millenium fine-point pen.
Make a dinky card from just one patchwork block! |
The printed papers are from a 6 x 6 paper pad: Times & Seasons from Echo Park Paper Co.
The HOTP template also has the Orange Peel pattern - which can be used to make mock Cathedral Window patchwork. And a hexagon shape, which can be used to make the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt design. But that's another post...
