If you are doing a quilted post card, you can use some muslin for the backing of your sandwich. Then you will attach your cardstock/index card/ to the back then sew on your binding. Just be careful not to make your stitch to close together otherwise will shred the card stock. Also, you could sew on your binding and finish your little quilt, then do a blanket stitch to attache the post card onto the little quilted part and can discard the index card later and enjoy the fun quilt. Always options. You could always just glue the index card on the outside onto the back of your quilt. It is acceptable. the fun part of these is that you have so many wonderful options to choose from.
