Daffodil Patchwork 6x6 Card

 

Evoke the first rays of springtime with 

this patchwork block style card that can send 

cheery thanks or get well notes of friendship. 

It’s the perfect design for recipients who love 

quilt making, patchwork and stitching. 

Card base is presented in two parts so that it can be 

cut from a single sheet of 12x12 or 

two sheets of smaller card stock. 

Accent mat creates narrow outer contrast border. 

Front panel includes a positioning “cross” partial cut out. 

Corner “daffodil” units are assembled, then fitted into 

the corners of the “cross” guide cuts, with 

other smaller “patches” fit and attached in place.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes as described

within the cut file.

2. Begin by assembling the four tulip units.

left: the four shapes used for 1 tulip unit

center: attach triangle over bottom of 'V' leaves, and

attach left 'diamond' over double diamond petal shape

right: shows the two elements pushed together --

but that part comes later!

3. Begin assembling the daffodil blossom units

onto the front panel. Use the dashed guide lines on

the panel to position the leaves right angle edges

at the right angles of the dash line 'cross'. NOTE that

the diamond points should extend to align with

the square panel's edges. Next, position and attach 

the petals units into the angle of the leaves units.

4. Position and attach the tiny square accents

at the center of the petals units.

5. Position and attach the 'house' shaped accents

at the squared ends of the dash mark 'cross'.

6. Position and attach the center square so that its

corners touch the triangle leaves point corners.

7. Position and attach the four 'on-point' triangles

around the center square accent.

8. Finally, position and attach the center panel assembly

onto the accent panel (centered to create equal narrow

border all around.

9. Bend the card base (or join separate sections into

one panel, then bend). Position and attach the panels

assembly onto the front of the card base.
