Quilt Picture
This quilt picture looks like a real, old-fashioned quilt, but there's no sewing -- and it takes less time to create than the real thing. It's like a miniature quilt that you can easily frame and hang it on your wall. It looks so pretty, you just might want to make more than one.

How to Make a Quilt Picture
Step 1: Practice drawing your quilt design on a piece of graph paper. Use a ruler to help you draw the triangles and squares of the quilt pattern.
Step 2: Measure the exact size of the triangles and squares in the design and cut them from cardboard to make the pattern pieces.
Step 3: Place each pattern piece on the fabric scraps and trace around it. Cut out the fabric pieces.
Step 4: Use an old paintbrush to coat the back of each piece with glue.
Step 5: Following the quilt design you drew on graph paper, glue the fabric on the cardboard. After it's dry, trim the cardboard and frame your quilt picture.
