Instead, here's a link to the pattern so you can see how the lattice works. http://www.connectingthreads.com/pat...__D10091D.html

FWIW, I think the lattice idea will be considerably more effective with your butterflies that it is with either their flowers or mine.

I checked out the pattern and agree with you that putting the butterflies on point would be really interesting and give a lot of energy to the quilt.

I love the idea on point with Attic Windows. It's going to be gorgeous. I'm thinking about downloading that pattern just in case I ever run across any fabric like yours.

Beautiful butterfly fabric. What about cutting up the fabric squares and adding sashing to make it look like they are flying by a window. Hope you understand what I am talking about.

I had another thought----what about making attic windows with each small block?

You could do black sashing with multiple colors of cornerstones.

Your butterflies will be beautiful in the pattern sushi linked! I can't wait to see it when you're done. I'm with you on using a pattern, I have to have one, too.
