Quilted notecards are easy and they can be made in many different ways; you can be creative with these! It would fun to make a few of these to keep close at hand for writing quick notes of encouragement or give them as gifts in sets of five.
You will need:
White notecards (mine measure 4_3/4" X 3_3/4")
Wonder_Under (interfacing that can be found at Walmart)
Coordinating Fabric Scraps
First cut your fabrics into strips (mine were 1_3/4 inches wide). Cut a piece of Wonder_Under (5 1/2" X 4")and iron your fabrics to it. (Read the Wonder_Under instructions carefully because there is a right_side and a wrong_side to it!)

Then VERY CAREFULLY tear off your Wonder_Under backing. (Be careful where your fabrics intersect__this can tear apart fairly easily). Then add a zig_zag stitch over the fabric overlap. Adding rick_rack instead of a zig_zag stitch would be cute too.

Cut the fabric piece close to the size of the notecard. Then iron the fabric to the notecard and trim the edges flush with the card. (Wonder_Under can leave a sticky spot on your ironing board so ironing on an old kitchen towel might be a good idea.)
Enjoy!
