I have a dream, and that is to one day make quilts. Lots and lots of quilts. I have it in my mind that it is hard. Like superwoman powers hard. Not just skill-wise. Patience-wise. I'm a bam, slam, thank-you-maam kind of creator. I want results and I want them fast. But I could look at quilts all day long. I adore them and all the fine detail that goes into them. So one day I will have what it takes to sit down for 40 hrs. and make one. But for today, for my immediate satisfaction, I made the equivalent to one quilt block, using scrapbook paper. It was fast, easy, and I didn't prick my fingers with a needle doing it! Win, win, win!!!
All you need is:
scrapbook paper (of course)
scissors
glue stick
frame
mat board if you like
I started with my base layer. Divide the opening size of your frame by 4 and cut those pieces out first. Then layer as desired... I used a doily for my next layer. I pieced 4 more papers together and traced the doily across all 4 of them. And for a little whimsy, I added 2 additional pieces - fan shaped - to the center of 2 of those doily portions. Kind of pulls it all together, I think. :)
Enjoy!

I like it! Great idea, Leilani.
What a great idea for dressing up a room. I think I might have to try this in my girls' rooms.
What a wonderful dream...that would assuredly be my own nightmare. :) But how cool is that!!
