Spring has me wishing for warmer temps and butterflies all around! This blue, pink and purple floral fabric was calling out to have butterflies flitting about. So I listened;) I used the Accuquilt butterfly BOB(block on board) die. All the butterfly parts were cut in one pass making this one easy to do.
Mixing in some coordinating prints of blue and pink for the wings along with that cute blue and purple plaid for the bodies and the skinny sashing.
The background looks like confetti don't cha think? The quilting is pretty simple but flattering with some ruler work in the background and border while the butterflies insisted on getting some freehand wing detail.
And a perfect backing fabric and the plaid surfaced again as the binding. Ahhh another finish:) What do you suppose will be next in line to work on.
Looking for inspiration, let's check out what others are working on at these linky parties!
