Butterfly Garden Lap Quilt
 

I got a machine quilting book from the library and learned how I am supposed to be doing it. So this is a little practice lap quilt. My friend made the 4 center squares last year. This was a lot of fun, even if my SID looks more like meandering. I did ivy vines around the dark green and ivy with split veins in the outer border. I LOVE my freehand butterflies! I hand-stitched the binding onto the back. It's far from perfect but happily I'm not a perfectionist. :-) I can see that with the right equipment I could do this every day!

Very lovely! Learning is an ongoing process and you are doing wonderfully!

Very nice! You did a great job ~ the butterflies look great! Keep it up!

Very Pretty. Way to Go. BrendaK

Brenda, you did a fantastic job! Keep it up, you'll get like the rest of us...quiltaholics!!

Julie- being the friend who gave you the 4 orphan blocks I'm really glad to see them put to use! I love those butterflies!! I'm going to give them a try! I'm glad the quilting bug is one we were bitten by!

Nice way to learn to quilt

You did a wonderful job on it! :thumbup:

I love your butterflies, too! Isn't it satisfying to learn something new? Kudos!

Beautiful job!!!!
