Hi, I have not posted for a very long time.  I have been busy with StockWiki Inc., creating a legal structure and all related legal contracts.  I took a couple of days off to make these quilted cards.  They look so sweet waiting to go out!  These cards took longer to assemble than most, about 40-45 minutes per card, because of the need to cut and paste accurately the many small pieces.  My favorite Stampin' Up demonstrator and teacher - Annette Wen - came up with this design. (Link to Annette's projects webpage and her Quilted Thank You Card)  I've modified it some and came up with variations.  My favorite was the last card I made, which uses rose red matting square and rose pink colors in the quilt corners (shown above).  I came up with this one because I was finished making the batch and I was relaxing and playing around with the design with my last remaining pieces of designer paper.  I used up ALL of the pages that have the relevant designs from the Bali Breeze designer paper pack (4 sheets out of 10).  Total cards made = 20.

Card size 5" x 5".  Inside matting square and quilt square are 3.5" x 3.5".  Quilt strips are 1/2" wide.  Center square is 1" x 1".  This is a variation on the Log-Cabin quilt.  IMG_1249 shows the traditional Log-Cabin design with lights on one corner and darks on the opposite corner.  IMG_1236 shows the cut strips ready to be assembled.  The bottom center card in IMG_1229 used the original design by Annette (has a cutout flower in the center).  The last two photos show stacks of 10 cards each waiting to go out.
