ABC Challenge Q is for ...

Quilting
OK maybe not the easiest challenge at first sight ... but easier than quilling LOL. I did a bit of research into quilt patterns and used this quilt sample as a basis for my card.
The top left hand square is the basis for my card.
I used K and Co papers and cut them following the pattern and the faux stitched them so they looked like a quilt square.
I added my watercoloured image simply matted to it and thats it. I tried flowers and lace on it but it really didn't look right as it lost the feel of a quilt section.
Do have a go and do check out the DT creations.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Demure
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: K and Co McKenna
Embellishments:
