I LOVE butterfly quilts and yours is spectacular...

Wow!! I love the colors, the butterflies are gorgeous, and that's really your first attempt at FMQ? I say again, Wow! Beautiful!!

I love you butterflies, and the quilting is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. Where did you get your butterfly applique?

I loved that quilt. I also love butterflies. I am trying to get my husband interested in quilting.Keep up the good work.

Hi Janis, Thank You for your complement. I got the pattern form Better Homes and Gardens... Grandma's Best Full-Size Quilt Blocks.. I love this book. The Butterfly is just one piece of material and you mark the wings then sew them or embroider, I just satin stitch them. I love the effect the satin stitching does.

Amazing quilt! Did you use the machine to satin stitch?

Hi Ducky, Thank you, yes I did use the machine to satin stitch, I do ok until I have to make a hairpin curve, LOL Sometimes I did it right and others not so neat.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I want to do some satin stitching on the machine, but I was sort of confused as to those sharp corners. I guess it just takes lots of practice.

Well, it looks just amazing.

Well Ducky thanks Bunches, Actually it really itsn't that hard you just have to go slow sew 2 or 3 stitches turn applique a fraction stitch,turn,and so on. I go over the whole Applique twice. You have to remember to only go slow and sew a couple or 3 stitches depending on what it is,then turn a fraction. Sometimes I got in a hurry and you can't when you are turning like that.

Absolutly beautiful!!! I just made a similar quilt but my betterfly pattern is slightly different!
