Oh, my! I unearthed a bin of "stuff" under my longarm and found a stack of butterfly blocks that I had completely forgotten about. These were made as part of an exchange in 2002 (I think)! I had intended on making these for a grandbaby. Well, four grandbabies later -- I really did forget! I'm on a mission this year to cross off a lot of "to-do's" -- wholecloth, art quilt, feather meandering, UFOs, stash-busting!!
I have no idea who will be the lucky recipient of this cute little quilt. The first picture is without a flash, and letting the quilt "relax" on a bed of beautiful maple leaves. Taking this picture without the flash highlights the dimension created by the batting.
This second picture is with a flash. This is indicative of the true color of the fabrics.
I got home from work a little too late tonight to take a good picture and won't have time for quite awhile to get a good pic in late afternoon sun - the best time!
The final picture is of one of the "ghost" butterflies that I stitched in. I've never tried this technique before, and it was fun. I found a great new website for creating templates for machine quilting:
