Punch quilting anyone?

[Lizzie-boo]

I just finished my first punch quilting project, and am quite pleased with how it turned out.

Punch quilting is making a wall hanging with a base of foam board (foam sandwiched between two sheets of cardboard). You transfer or make a design (like a quilt block) on the board and then cut on the lines about halfway into the board to create channels. You add thin batting to create a puffy look, and then fabric pieces cut to size to cover each section. The fabric is pushed into the channels, and it ends up looking like a sewn quilt block, but with no sewing involved.

This sounds easy enough.
Might be something I might like to do.

We did this way back in the late 70's and 80's. It still looks like fun. Might just try it again.

Very pretty, will it be a decoration ont he wall?

[Lizzie-boo]

Yes, Kathy, in fact it's already on the wall in our home office which I recently converted to a scary Teenage Mutual Ninja Turtle wallpapered room to the soft green paint color you may see bordering the above picture.

I think this may be the fastest start-to-finish, already hanging on the wall craft project I've ever done!
