Franie - This is for my 8 year old daughter. I was hoping to have it done for her birthday but it is a couple months late.

I have decided that I would rather hand quilt than machine and I don't know that I like the applique. Thanks for everyone's help.

it is beautiful.. do you have a pattern I can print out? I am decorating my daughters room in pink n purple butterflys, ( we are finally getting away from disney princess!!!!)
Thanks

I searched for patterns online. This one was one that I found that was a baby quilt. I modified it for a twin size bed and I did the butterfly as one piece instead of separate pieces. The website was http://people.virginia.edu/~rfk2u/quilts2.html - there is a pattern with it. I did my blocks 12" square and did 6 across and 8 down with a 3" border.
