I love Amish quilts, and Gina K.’s paper piecing challenge motivated me to try my hand at creating a few paper quilts. I admire the stark contrast and colors and bold designs that the Amish use in their quilts, and so I created this version of a Diamond in a Square pattern. It seemed a little plain at first, so I added the small buttons, did some faux stitching inside the center square, and adhered a punched heart that I distressed with a little ink in the center.

This card is 6″ square, so I’ll be paying some extra postage for this one! Having the extra size is worth it, though, and I have some nice 6″ square envelopes on hand…
