Try This At Home!
Wrapping Paper Quilt

Nineteenth-century American quilters often cut pictures of flowers, leaves or birds from printed fabric and stiched them onto a plain fabric background. This technique was called "broderie perse." Try making a paper version of this style quilt by cutting pictures from gift wrap or wallpaper and gluing them to a sheet of plain paper in your own arrangement..
