Dandy Garden Faux Quilting Cards

Shenandoah Quilt Pattern-My Inspiration

I have said many times that I love working with fabric but don't enjoy sewing. I have a sewing machine, but it rarely gets used. I don't quilt, but I appreciate the beauty and time it takes to create one. I discovered the Faux Quilting technique using paper instead of fabric and have created many cards using this technique.

I recently saw the above quilt on Pinterest using the Shenandoah quilt pattern.

I knew instantly that this pattern would easily translate into a faux quilting project.

There are many quilt patterns that translate well into Faux Quilting projects.

Pinterest is a great resource for finding quilt patterns.

The Shenandoah pattern above is a great example.

Use punches or a die-cut machine and stitched shaped dies combined with embossing folders to easily replicate the stitching patterns on your creations.

I have created a video tutorial on how to create these Dandy Garden Faux Quilting Cards using the Shenandoah Quilt Pattern as the inspiration.
