When a challenge asks for a quilt you can be sure I'll be making a card for it. I had several ideas but for Inkspirational I went with Grandmother's Flower Garden, or a semblance thereof.
Scraps of patterned papers fill the hexagons on the PTI coverplate, which has been applied to copy paper with double sided sticky sheet. A little hugs die from SSS layered for dimension finishes it off. When you cut a coverplate and only use part of the image, it leaves you with plenty of leftovers. And you know what leftovers mean. A twofer.
The original cut of the coverplate slipped so I had to trim it down which gave me the chance to add a border. This time I used the yellow print from the center of the first quilt for the outside and added a prayer die from SSS.
Julia from the Design Team mentioned posting a quilt that inspired our cards. While I do have one, I'm showing the quilt I just made for my granddaughter who is expecting her first baby in March.
The striped fabric around the center is from her graduation quilt and the four plaid squares are leftovers from her baby quilt. I gave it to her at a baby shower that was held on Saturday. I'm just glad I found a long-arm quilter to get it done in time.
Thanks for dropping by. I love sharing my cards with you.

How adorable, Bobby. I have that hex die and haven't used it in forever. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll be pulling it out soon. Your cards are so quaint and dear.
I love both of your quilt cards Bobby - a wonderful hexagon full cover die cut used and sweet floral papers - and how nice to get a twofer out of it! Your 'real' homemade quilt is just beautiful! thanks for sharing it and your cards at Inkspirational: Pretty Quilts! Julia xx
Your quilt cards are so pretty, love both of them. That hexagon cover plate die is perfect for making quilt cards. Your handmade quilt is beautiful and such a special keepsake.
Two gorgeous quilt cards, Bobby! I'm always amazed how you put together colors! The baby quilt is even more special with meaningful pieces of fabric worked in! I love the quilting pattern!
Oh what a treasure you made for your granddaughter! And I do love your paper quilts, too, Bobby! I have that PTI die, so maybe now I'll pull it out.
Your paper quilts are as pretty as your baby quilt! Wonderful work, Bobby!
WOW!! Two absolutely BEAUTIFUL quilted cards Bobby and the baby quilt couldn't be any more perfect! And how meaningful to have used fabric from other quilts you made for her...this will definitely be a treasured gift!! Hugs. :0)
