Wow -Beautiful - are those all appliqued?
What size are your templates? Are they your design or a patten. I have a love of butterflies and have been collecting butterfly fabric. One day I'll put them together.

What a modern look to the "old" craft of quilting.
Your butterflies are gorgeous and I just love all of the colors you used and how they stand out on the black background.
I am wondering, too, did you applique and what technique did you use. (satin stitch, hand turned needle, etc......)


(oh, and by the way, if you tire of it---I'll be glad to give it a forever home! :mrgreen: )

I used a satin stitch on it an my daughter thinks she has laid claim to it but i don't quite know for sure it might go on aution block to get more batting.Don't know for sure yet.
