I love it. I would love to know the name of the pattern so I could purchase it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those colors on the black background make my mouth water! I always have to stay away from black on quilts because Phoebe and Ophelia, my two Maine Coons, would leave furries all over it.

Love the colors! Very pretty. Neat quilting design too.

Black backgrounds sure make colors SING! The variegated thread and wonderful quilting complete a stunning quilt. Congratulations to you and Chris!

Beautiful. The black really makes the pattern pop. Batiks are my favorite.

So beautiful! I love the way you have set this up. I am not familiar with this pattern. Is "Butterfly Blooms" the actual pattern name? I'd love to find that pattern.

Gorgeous!

betlinsmom 07-25-2009 09:24 AM

Me, too!! I would love to have this pattern!!

JCL in FL 07-25-2009 04:17 PM

me too. I looked for Butterfly blooms and couldn't find it anywhere on line.

I searched for it and found several sites to go to for it. The one I went to is the Seam Shoppe. I love Pats choice of fabrics so much.

Knock my socks off! This is so pretty. The quilting is gorgeous too. What pattern is this? You mentioned "Amish feeling"...I don't know what this means?

Mousie 07-26-2009 07:37 AM

Pat, the beauty still shows up! I love those corners, and the butterfly with the flower. Like your fabrics. will you be posting a pic of Chris' quilt? nice to see a comparison/option...so put one of yours back on thread.
Maybe you could use flash and just back up a little? dunno, just a suggest. :D

I"ve always thought of Amish quilts having dark or black backgrounds, with bright colors added. That is why I said this has an Amish feeling.
It is called "Butterfly Blooms".

Pat, thanks for the explaination of "Amish Quilts." Years ago I lived in the East and a co-worker did an Amish country vacation...stayed in Amish homes and visited Amish communities. He learned that each community ofAmish have a speciality which they make and sell as income for their community. One community of Amish may make Grandfather clocks (it takes a year from the time you order a clock til you get it), another community makes quilts. The Amish women always used their stark blacks, browns, gray/charcoal colors like they do for their own use quilts but these didn't sell well so they started adding color to their quilts. Don't know if its the color added but I'm told Amish quilts are quite sought after these days. That's the information my friend brought back with him from his Amish vacation tour. Besides ordering a clock he also ordered quilts for his Christmas gifts (dang, I wish I was on that Christmas list!) :lol:

Wow --i love the Amish quilts....this one is beautiful! Thanks for posting!

Just beautiful! Love Chris's quilting too. I have not seen a pattern like this for a jelly roll. I love it, can I ask wHere you got it?

Pats8e8 08-26-2009 03:55 PM


Hi, is it warm over there in Argentina? It's hot here. Anyway, I bought the jelly roll and pattern at a quilt show 2 or 3 yrs. ago. If you look back through these answers, someone found it for sale on an Internet site.
