Because I don't have any Flourish stamps, I decided to go with teabag folding. I couldn't find quite the right tile to use, this is as close as I could get to the colors in my quilt. I used the pattern for the triple layer star. I used this beautiful white textured paper (hard to see in the pic)and sewed quilt lines on it. This quilt is actually made exactly like teabag folding. Each diamond in the quilt is cut from the exact spot on the fabric 8 times using a large diamond shaped template made of heavy plastic and teabag folding is done by using the exact tile 8 times.
Here is my inspiration for the card.
Thank you to the ladies at Flourishes for letting anyone play and for the chance to win some wonderful "new release" stamps.
Have a fabulous Monday everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Wow! teabag folding is so difficult! Your card came out beautiful!
Oh Karen i love your teabag folding card and your quilt so pretty. Thanks for your visits.
Well I love the quilt, absolutely beautiful!!! My Granny quilted and it was a grand day if I visited her and she "was working" her quilt. She passed away 27 yrs.ago but her quilts are still in great shape. The past year hasn't been great for my Dad healthwise so I spend nights with him when needed and I always sleep under one of Granny"s quilts.
