I played with several different layouts for the arrangement of the 9 butterfly blocks for this quilt...A) Butterflies flying in opposite directions row by row; B) All butterflies flying the same direction; and C) All but the center butterfly flying in the same direction. I really liked C, I thought it spoke to individuality and the strength to stand against the tide, but my husband thought that it looked like I'd simply made a mistake. Another alternate arrangement that I thought about was leaving the center butterfly off (the front anyway) and simply have the planned FMQ show the outline of the butterfly on the white square. (I was thinking about piecing the back and putting the missing butterfly there, instead.) I really liked making this quilt and may still make another one using this idea.
