Butterflyblue

I put this quilt together to keep in the car - I’ve for some reason been dying to make a quillow like I remember from the 90’s, and I hadn’t quilted anything larger than a table runner for a couple of years so I needed something simple to get back into it. This quilt is from scraps and stash I had on hand, including a high loft poly batting someone gave me. I hated quilting that thick batting, and I had to add on to the pillow pocket because it was too thick to fold into the one I made from proportions found online. But now that it is done, I do like the look of the thick batting, though I intend never to use any again. I am trying to use up scraps and I did use up most of the short strips left from a quilt I made my son a couple of years ago but I barely put a dent in my supply of strings, which was disappointing.

My son did a couple of string blocks and appliquéd the bunny block for the pillow pocket. The bunny is from a Darcy Ashton book, Bunnies and More.
