Right now they are just completed tops, but I'm so happy with how they turned out I wanted to share :)

awesome, what pattern did you use, thanks

I totally agree with the other quilters, these tops are beautiful! You did a great job with sashings, borders, etc.

Beautiful quilts. Can I steal your idea? I have been collecting butterfly fabrics and charms for awhile.

Great Job :thumbup:

Thank you!!

I didn't use a pattern - just 4.5" blocks and 1.5" sashing with corner blocks. There are also two borders - the inner border is 1.5" and a 4" outer border. I think there are about 72 blocks total...I'm sure however, there is a pattern out there - if I come across one I will be sure to put up the information :)

I was just in an I Spy Quilt Square Exchange and I am now hand piecing mine. It will have black sashing. Yours makes me want to piece faster to get it done. Looks great!

I love them. My Mom loves butterflies and I have been trying to figure out how to do a butterfly quilt for her. Do you mind if I copy your idea?

mimee4 06-10-2010 07:03 AM

I didn't realize there were so many fabrics out there with butterflies. These are two very striking quilts.
