Butterfly for my Sister
 

1 year ago I set out to make something precious and unique for my beloved sister. It took me a couple months to design this and 8 months to piece it by hand (EPP style)--between other projects and daily tasks. I will add a solid black sashing and traditional square patchwork from the scraps for a border. Quilting will focus on SITD to emphasize the butterfly features. Solid black binding and dark grey back. Yeah... it'll be a darker looking project in the end, but she's into that sort of thing!

Beautiful work! Your sister will love it.

you put a lot of work and effort into this for a very stunning result. She is a lucky recipient!

What a beautiful treasure your sister will cherish, you did a spectacular job!

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that. I am impressed, and I'm sure your sister will love it and appreciate your putting her "she's into that" sort of thing into it :)

Super quilt, super job.

This is beautiful and you are so creative! Your sis will love and appreciate it if she is anything like you. Love this!

Lovely. Great job on both the EPP (something other than hexies) And the appliqué.

Thank you, everyone! It is wonderful to have place I can share my work with others who understand!

BTW, there is no Applique. This is 100% inlay via EPP style.

It is amazing and then to not have the butterfly appliqued on, truly amazing quilt. You take top honors in my book.

That is stunning. Great job.
