Look what I found!!! Also need some advice
#1
While cleaning some things out of Mama's house preparing for sale of estate or turn over to Medicaid, I found a box of butterfly quilt blocks.
Mama evidently pieced these years ago and forgot about them. There are 20 different ones. Each hand appliqued onto unbleached muslin.
Here are some photos. Some of the butterflies look skewed, but it's the angle in which I photographed them. Couldn't seem to get them all, as I was afraid I would fall when my husband held the chair for me to stand in.
Could someone advice me how to best set them together and with what colors?
Thanks!

Your butterflies will make a beautiful quilt and a great family memory from your mom. What concerned me more was your comment about turning the house over to Medicaid. Do Americans lose homes to pay for medical bills? That just doesn't happen in Canada. It doesn't seem right to me that a senior would have to lose her house to pay health care costs.
