I love paper quilting cards. In my younger and more patient days, I made quilts (sewn by hand and machine), but nowadays I prefer making paper quilt cards!
The most time consuming part of making paper quilt cards is coordinating colors for the quilt and then making sure you have a basic card to match. I made a lovely -- really it was beautiful -- birthday card with peach, blue and cream colored papers. But...realized after the quilt part was completed, that I did not have a card stock to match those papers. Initially I did not want a wide border as in the card shown below, but that is what I decided I needed to do to finish the card. In the end, the card turned out to be very nice, but I went through some frustration before the end.
So -- preparation is key for this card and probably for any card you make. Get all your materials together before starting the project.
The black and white papers used in this card are from a set that I found at AC Moore last year. Certainly made selection easy!
Take care,
Kathy
