Faux Quilting
My friend, Jan Castle, has written the following directions to do faux quilting. Cut your strips into 1/4" strips using a shredder or a paper cutter. You can also cut 1/8", 1/2" and even larger strips, if you like. Use old cards (not your handmade ones, of course), photos, calendars, wrapping paper, wallpaper, fabric, paint chips and more. Once you've created your faux quilt, you can die cut it, emboss it, and more. Let your imagination run wild. Your strips need to be the same thickness. However, the width and the edges can be different.
Tip: Use the sticky side of labels to make your faux quilting project. We sell 8 1/2" by 11" sticker sheets and will cut them into quarter panels for you.
