i started this in June 2008. it was all done but the border and stippling inside the cats.

i didn't do the butterflies using FMQ. i pinned the printed pattern onto the panel and stitched around it the hard way. in another year and a half i might have the courage to try FMQ butterflies. :lol:

it's a rectangle. cross my heart. :lol:

That is a cute quilt and I love the points in each braid being different from the fabrics; but matching each other.Very nice!

PATRICE your quilt is so gorgeous and so different. thanks for posting. ciao

greencat 03-31-2010 03:28 PM

Cute cute!

quilterguy27 03-31-2010 09:58 PM

Very cute. Your butterflies are great. I recently did one with butterflies and frankly mine suck compared to yours. Hope that's not offensive to anyone, but it's true.

patricej 04-01-2010 01:53 AM

i'm spooning up everyone's kindness and really appreciate it. :-)

i like the butterflies, too, but i sure as heck didn't freemotion those little suckers. :lol:

i made this quilt-as-i-went. i pinned the printed butterfly motifs on paper and stitched around the pattern, foot-down-dogs-up. lots of stopping, shifting, turning. looks good, but takes forever. :lol:

beckyw 04-01-2010 03:46 AM

mytwopals 04-01-2010 09:39 AM

Patrice, your French Braid Fence w/Cats & Butterflies is so gorgeous. The colors are great.

butterflywing 04-01-2010 08:19 PM

very cute and very original to use the braid as a fence design. in fact, very original.

patrice strikes again!!

damaquilts 04-02-2010 11:37 AM

I am glad you showed that. I started a french braid quilt and got about half a strip done and was wondering if I am going to bother finishing it. Mine is very scrappy but it gives me an idea of maybe adding applique to it or something. Not sure yet I'm thinkin':-)

littlehud 04-02-2010 07:22 PM

That is so cute. Two of my favorites, cats and the french braid pattern. Great job.
