Faux Quilt Stamped Quilt Block

Hi everyone.

It’s Connie and my turn to post on the blog.  My Project this month is a Faux quilted block. I used the cube from my Design team package and I stamped the images onto some  pastel cotton fabric.  I used the  2 ” Diamonds and Plaids Faux Quilting stamps. I also used Colorbox Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler.  I will be using the block as a Stick Pin holder/Pin Cushion.

I created the pattern by using the traditional Ornament technique. My grandmother made the quilted ornaments at Christmas. I used 2 ” Squares. I stamped the quilt images onto the fabric and let them dry.  I added the Dress pins to the center of the fabric and added pin to center of Cube and folded the rectangles into triangles. I added several layers until I was happy with the look. You use more fabric squares on this block compared to a round ornament. I used 16 -2″ Squares per side.  I used 250 pins.  After making the sides I used crochet trim to decorate the edges.  I also added buttons to the center of the squares.

Here is a close up of the pink side. I used the Berry Crafter’s Ink.  I used the 2″ Bold Diamond pattern from the Diamond and Plaid stamp set.

Here is the yellow side. I used the Limelight Crafter’s Ink.

I used the Outlined Diamond pattern from the Diamond and Plaid stamp set.

Here is the Green side. I used the Aquamarine Crafter’s Ink. I used the Plaid stamp pattern from the Diamonds and Plaid stamp set.

Thanks for joining me today and Happy crafting.
