Rolling Star Fabric Postcard

Fabric postcards are fun to sew and go together very quickly.

This is a traditional patchwork quilt block that you can made 3″ by 3″ and then add 1″ borders onto the side to easily create a simple fabric postcard.

Add a backing – maybe some light batting or flannel in the center.

Bind and you’re finished.

You can send them through the mail or join Penny’s Postcard Posse and send them to the troops in the Middle East – just to let them know we are thinking about them and praying for their safe return.

Even though this block uses only two different fabrics, it is relatively challenging to sew together. It could be because almost every seam is on the bias, since virtually every patch is a triangle.

In any case, you’ll see how to sew the block together! I’d reserve some time and focus for this one
