Scrappy Card Tutorial

Wow, it's been awhile again...not sure what happened! Anyway... I have a fun and quick project for you today. We're still buried in snow, which I love, (photos at the end) but somehow all of my recent projects have been very springy 😂 These greeting cards are very easy and quick!
​

---

1. Stack batting and backing. I used fusible fleece instead, and interfacing for backing, since it won't show. Mine are 5 x 6" to start, then I trim down to 4 x 5 1/4" later, but you can do any size.
2. Lay scraps on the batting until it's covered, overlapping them a bit.
​

3. Quilt through all layers. I used a walking foot and straight lines. I didn't worry about exact spacing!

4. Add simple appliques (trace shape onto paper backed side of fusible web, fuse to back of fabrics, cut out, remove paper, fuse to project)
5. I stitched around the edges of all the applique pieces, using the same thread I used for quilting. You could change it of course, but it was very quick not to :-) 
6. Cut to size and bind. Youtube video below for my method of card binding. 

So many possiblities, I hope you will try it! 

I wasn't kidding about the snow... 🤣
