A big round of applause to the randomly selected winner of all the current patterned papers, Erica Hettwer:
Suzy Plantamura has a final quilt-inspired layout and card:
My Beautiful Girl by Suzy Plantamura
For this layout, I cut a 9” square out of a piece of patterned paper. I lined the outside edge of that paper with Mixtape and folded it to the backside. For the inside of the paper, I attached some floral ribbon. I then cut five 3” squares out of patterned paper. I created a petal pattern on a scratch paper square by dividing the square into four small squares and then cutting one of them into a petal shape. I traced around that shape four times on each of the 3” squares (after creating a grid of four smaller squares on them with pencil). I attached my patterned paper 12” piece to a piece of white cardstock and drew nine 3” squares into the center with a pencil. I then used my petals inside five of these to create a quilted look and added photos into the other four. I stitched around the edges of each with straight stitch and then added some zig zag stitching between all the squares.

Thank You Card by Suzy Plantamura
I used the same four petal flower design on a card as well. I layered three strips of ribbon under the “flower” and then used a Flair badge in the center of the flower as the greeting. I used the new Knock Outs punch set along the bottom edge of the card.

This is sew pretty. ;)
I too have wanted to quilt and have actually gone as far as to buy the fabric and quilt batting. It's not as easy as they make it look. I'll have to try a couple of projects like this for some friends of mine who do quilt. Great idea!
