    We gave it to her yesterday - she loved it. The butterfly applique row had this poem:

    Upon returning, their small wings create a gentle breeze in the form of God’s love, giving comfort & respite to our weary souls.

    Each time you see a butterfly, remember, you are surrounded by prayers this day, this moment. God bless you, dear friend.

    Here is the first of four panels on which the poem was written. The smallest colored butterflies are 3d with their wings free to fly. This was my row.

    So nice! Isn't it amazing all the different things you can do with a simple jelly roll? Grammatjr: how did you do the accents around the butterfly wings to make them look like they are flying? Is that appliqué or something else? The effect is lovely!
