Butterfly Quilt for my Daughters Birthday
 

Just finished this machine embroidery applique butterfly quilt for my daughters 30th birthday. The background fabric is Fairy Frost and I used batiks for the rest.
The embroidery designs are Crystal Butterflies from Secrets of Embroidery.
I FMQ'ed this on my Pfaff Expressions 3.0, took me about 2 weeks for the quilting.
Did not follow a pattern just worked it out as I went along.
The second photo shows up the quilting a lot better
Thank you for looking

Gorgeous!!

very very pretty

very nicely done

Beautiful work!

MiraB ... every time I see this quilt, I appreciate it more and more! The batiks are such a perfect choice for the butterflies, to give them a more realistic look, than a regular fabric ever could. And the glisten of the FF, amazing. So, if they are Crystal Butterflies, are you adding crystals too?

This will indeed make for a VERY Happy Birthday for your DD! ENJOY your day with her!! :)

Ok let her open it and enjoy it THEN tell her she can have it after you enter it in a show somewhere! It is absolutely amazingly gorgeous!!!!!

Everything about this quilt is beautiful. I love the butterflies, but the quilting is so pretty that I can't imagine how long you must have worked on it. The border gives a final touch incorporating all the colors that finishes it perfectly. This is gorgeous. You should be proud and your daughter one very happy recipient.
