My current quilt wasn't really designed. It evolved. I am making my granddaughter who is 4, a quilt. I saw a pattern that I loved in a quilt shop, it was a three-dimensional butterfly, quite darling, but not very practical for a 4 year old. Also, I wasn't so fond of the shapes of those butterflies. But the butterfly idea stuck because she does this thing with her fingers that she calls her 'butterfly fingers' I tried to make butterflies with foundation piecing. I tried several of those and wasn't satisfied. Again, I didn't like the shape of them. So I went online and found a butterfly which did have a nice shape. I decided to applique this on my blocks with Heat n Bond and used a blanket stitch around the edges. It was very nice but much too plain. After thinking it over for a few days, I settled on strip piecing this shape with jewel toned fabrics, then it was time to decide on size of blocks, sashing or no, borders and size. Right from the beginning it was going to be a quilt-as-you-go-type of quilt. Right now I'm working out the FMQ design. Like a said, "It's evolving."
