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.

Can't wait to see that quilt. Great ideas given already.

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.

Beautiful blocks--I would use black sashing too.
