Directions
1. Assemble materials
2. Square down your mini block to 4.5" if it isn't already square.
Go to Square down directions if needed.

|
3. Print out the template; each template includes two card fronts. Cut out the two card fronts, trimming the edges off. Using the exacto knife and cardboard or other cutting mat (or scissors), cut out the 4" square from each card front,
3" square.
|
|
|
4. If using fabric, lay the fabric under the cut-out area to test card lay-out. I decided what area of the print looked best before cutting my 4.5" piece of fabric
|
|
|
5. Fuse the 4" square of fusible fleece to the wrong side of the quilt block, centered.
|
|
|
6. Turn the card front over so that you are working on the wrong side of the card. Lay the quilt block over the opening that you
cut in the card so that the RIGHT side of the quilt block is face down over the opening. The quiltblock should be
centered on the opening. Use tape to adhere the quilt block to the card. Place the tape so that it is on the very edge of the fabric, because you will be stitching the fabric in the next step.

|
7. Turn the card front right side up. Using your sewing machine, stitch a line around the opening, very close to the edge (approx. 1/8"). I used a slightly longer stitch length than I would for a regular seam.
|
|
8. Fold the other 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock, cross-wise. This creates the card body. Place the quilted card front on the front side of the folded card. Use glue or a glue stick to adhere the card front to the card. Add buttons, stickers, bling and other decor as desired.
Glue a piece of paper inside the card and write a personal message. Or print a message, using your computer and printer; then trim the paper to any size smaller than 5.5" x 8.5" (which is the size of the inside of the card).
