Here it is! A few months back I posted that my step-sister's fiancee was killed in an accident, leaving her to raise four boys. To help her grieve, I started this comfort quilt for her, combining her three favorite things (besides her lost love and boys)~butterflies, owls and purple. I designed and then figured measurements for the center panel and then just kept adding and designing from there. I wasn't sure how to subtly add the butterflies so I took the four corner blocks and FMQ some butterflies in there to quilt and added some embroidered butterflies to the quilt label.
This is a pic of the whole quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]143401[/ATTACH] A close-up of the center panel with three owls, all in different states of sleepiness. [ATTACH=CONFIG]143402[/ATTACH] A close-up of one of the "night owl" blocks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]143403[/ATTACH] |
Very pretty! She will love it I'm sure!

Thanks! It was meant to help her heal but I spent so much time on the phone with her while making this (she lives 4 hours away-one trip), that sewing and quilting it really helped me heal from grieving FOR her. She doesn't know she's getting it yet and I can't wait to see her and just wrap her up in a hug with it.

She'll find comfort with your special design - your caring shines through in your work

A wonderful gift. You are a special person.
