ok, I have two kids concerts to attend tonight, so I am walking away from this for a few hours... I have been fussing with final placement of the bflys (the rest is all stitched and in place. These are heading in a different direction that the original post pics, let me know opinions. I may switch them back, but I think I've been fussing with them too much and now cannot make up my mind :)

I was shooting for the viewing angle of what you'd see on a bed to see if the perspective shot would give me a different visual...

here is the other optional layout I'm toying with... we'll see what I feel when I come back in later tonight :)

this was taken without the flash, so the color is off, but this shows the stitching around the appliqued roses

Oh my, this is going to be beautiful. You sure turned this story around. From heartbreak to heartsinging. Please keep us posted on you progress. And I prefer the 1st layout.

Just as a quick comment...I like the first arrangement best with the butterfly 'noses' all headed toward the corners of center block. But either way...it is going to be great!

I like the first too, but whatever you decide, it is going to be one pretty quilt.

I think I am more partial to the first layout too, going to sleep on it. From afar, it is reminiscent of a floral motif made by the designs on the bottoms of the butterflies :) I had my Droid with me at the concert, and one of the other moms is an antique dealer ~ showed her this thread, with today's updates ... she told me she HAS to see this before I give it away.
