These quilts and/or the theme of quilting are great inspiration for a stamping project. Go check out the #124 Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge to be blown away. For my card I was drawn to the upper right quilt in the inspiration photo. What's super cool about my card is that the linen thread knots were tied just like a quilt. I actually used a big needle to "tie" my quilted card panel. The faux stitching lines are the result of the the Postage Punch. How easy and effective is that?
