I had plans of taking photos of the Butterfly quilt as I was making it. I wanted to show the progress. But, I got caught up in it and and pictures went from the one above to the one below.
When I looked at the quilt in the photo on my computer screen, the purple stripes in the bottom left corner bothered me. So I tried this:
I’m still not completely sure which I’ll use, the real thing looks different from the photo……
The name for the quilt come from this silk butterfly hankie that came in the batch of hankies Susan sent me, that belonged to her mother. I think it’s the first time I used a hankie in a quilt.
Beautiful!
I vote purple! 🙂
Do you ever wonder at the beauty of these hankies? They are much too lovely to use as a hanky would be, so were they created just as things of beauty?
I think some of them were not meant to be used Candy.
Love the vintage fabrics! Feels very tropical and sunny! Uplifting.
This single butterfuly.. in the field of flowers.. reminds me of watching thme go flower to flower.. this is a beautiful quilt
This butterfly is so beautiful-with the glowing colors and “sections” of colors, it would make a lovely stained-glass window!
