Postage Stamp Quilt Postage Stamp Quilt Project Instructions By Joanne Jones A postage stamp quilt is made up of blocks that are all the same size, usually about the size of a postage stamp, hence the name "postage stamp quilt". These blocks are tiny squares that are approximately one-and-a-half to two inches large. Dozens of colours are used in the quilt, which gives it a mosaic look. There is no set pattern for a postage stamp quilt, rather the colours are chosen at random when adding them to the quilt. This is similar to the charm quilt, except that the blocks in a charm quilt are about five inches by five inches. It is very easy to make your own postage stamp quilt. If you are already a quilter, save up your scraps of fabric for this project. To start, gather up 40 different pieces of fabric that are at least six inches by six inches.

Postage Stamp Art Starting your stamp collection is simple. Many youngsters begin by saving used stamps from the letters, packages and postcards their families receive at home. You can ask friends and relatives to save stamps from their mail, too. Local banks, stores, insurance agents, travel agents and other businesses that get a lot of mail might be willing to save envelopes for young collectors. Some people save entire envelopes. Others focus on the stamp itself. To remove the stamp, first tear or cut off the upper right-hand corner of the envelope or card. Place it image-side down in a small pan of warm water. The stamp should sink to the bottom after a few minutes, but wait a few minutes more for any remaining glue to dissolve from the stamp. Then take the stamp out of the water using tweezers or stamp tongs so the oil from your skin doesn't damage your stamps. Postage Stamp Art
