Those are Swallowtails and they are probably on their migration route back to the northeast. Very pretty! My sister is in Wickenburg - will have to ask her if she's seeing them.

I'd say it's inspiration for a new quilt for you to make.

And if you need a little more inspiration ... here's a quilt I made last year for a wedding gift.

Backyard Butterflies (aka the back of the quilt)

OK, Girls--- I am having a hard time here, because there is a butterfly machine like these at the casino and I saw a lady playing and all these butterflys covered the screen and she had just sat down and it gave yer $400 and some dollars. It is 14 miles from here, should I just stay home and sew or?????
