Does that make sense? It is hard to explain without actually showing you...I just followed the way the quilt was pieced. The quilting you can see on the back that looks like the little butterfly body I fmq. If it would help, I can find the picture of the pattern, photocopy it, draw the quilting path, take a picture and post it?
Julie,

That it TOTALLY awesome!! :thumbup: Guess I need to learn to print out a B/W pic too, to take advantage of using the shapes that are already there. WOW! I'm really jazzed at what you've done here. :D

Since I have no experience at this kinda thing, a favor I would ask of you is to look at my baby quilt pic and maybe offer up some ideas for me as to how I might best take advantage of what I have to work with. Are you up for that?

Thanks so very much,

Karla
