That butterfly is so unique! I agree with QuiltE's suggestion to add detail on the butterfly we ith your quilting.
I can't wait to see the finished quilt! And would love to see photos of the other quilts you are doing with rescued blocks!

I agree. I think some hand embroidered embellishments would add a lot of character to the butterflies. Some daisy petal shapes on the wings, tiny black buttons for the eyes and a little larger buttons for the end of the feelers.

I would add some embroidery to the wings. If you use the wonky sashing it would be cute to embroider eyes and a button nose on it and French knots on the end of the antennae. I have seen many different butterflies but never this shape.

Okay here's my two cents. I would applique two small pieces in each wing. Then I would had some lines to the body of the butterfly. Some sashing and cornerstones would also bring it all together.
