These Faux Quilted stamps are fun and easy to work with because they are sized in 1″ squares, 2″ squares and matching triangles, so everything coordinates and fits together perfectly.
I definitely love quilting, but do not have the patience or skill to actually make one, but with these stamp sets you can create a “quilt” on any project you can imagine!
