Hello again. I posted a picture of the top in Jan. with a promise to show the finished product. Just finished it a little while ago and here it is. I am pleased with how this scrappy quilt turned out.

What a wonderfully summery quilt! I just love it! Where did you find that darling butterfly pattern? It's too, too cute! And I love how they're flying around that adorable flower! Kudos!

Very pretty! I likehow you used some decorative stitching for the quilting. Nicely done!

bubble951 07-11-2012 05:50 PM

I don't really have a pattern for this quilt. A little of this and a little of that. I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" girl.

The butterfly pattern is a tweak from a 1920 and 1930 pattern from McKim Studios and I saw it in a Leisure Arts book intitled "Big Book of Best-Loved Quilt Patterns", and the rest is just made up. Hope this helps.

I love the orange. You did a great job with a hard color to work with. It reminds me of Florida.

krysti 07-12-2012 07:12 AM

I've never seen one like this, and I absolutely love it! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

nativetexan 07-12-2012 07:22 AM

beautiful quilt!! love the orange! i learned to love oranges, reds, yellow, etc and they do "make" the quilt!

bubble951 07-12-2012 07:39 AM


I love the orange. You did a great job with a hard color to work with. It reminds me of Florida.

Thanks you! The butterflies and flowers were made from the left over scraps from a ministry called care caps connections (they make caps for women and children who have lost their hair) and I needed something to pull them together and not just focus on the butterflys. I had the orange material and it won!

This is the prettiest butterfly quilt I have ever seen. Your composition is exciting. I love butterfly patterns but never cared for them lined up in lines and rows. Now I want to make a butterfly quilt.

RedGarnet222 07-12-2012 08:23 AM

Oh wow... I love this quilt.

Krystyna 07-12-2012 10:39 AM

Fabulous and so interesting. Love your quilting!

cleodaisy 07-12-2012 10:42 AM

I would like to borrow the seat of your pants. LOL If I could only think like you do!!! Your butterflies are so pretty, and the orange is perfect.

What a bright, cheery quilt! Love the color and fabric choices and the two hex flowers in the center! Thanks again for sharing and bringing a big smile to my face! Great job!

scrapngmom 07-12-2012 11:28 AM

Bright and beautiful. It makes me smile. If you ever want to get rid of it, the quilt would find a happy home with me.

Helen S 07-12-2012 12:16 PM

Looks like a summer day! Nice job.
