Quilt Birthday Card

Today I am posting a birthday card for a co-worker whose birthday is coming up.  She used to own a quilt store so I thought the perfect card for her would be this card.  I originally got the idea for the card HERE.  I have always loved quilts.  It is amazing that I like the same fabrics as papers that I buy.  They all seem to have the same ideas in their designs.

I started with 7/8 inch squares and pieced together.  What really made this card was the embossing.  I thought it looked like it had been quilted.  The sentiment is from PTI Happy Birthday set.
