    Darlin121 sent me this beautiful quilt!
    So soft and lovely....she said this was for her granddaughter and she liked butterflies.

    I couldn't just randomly apply butterflies all over this quilt..that didn't seem right to me.

    I decided to center a butterfly in each white/silver square..and then I filled everything in with a feathery type design... finishing it off with a feathered border.

    I was afraid of it being to "much" quilting so I made my feather plumes really big....to get the effect and I just love the way it turned out...

    I quilted this on my long arm,26 INNOVA. All free hand..no pantographs or computers.
