The blocks are just lovely!!! I'm absolutely in LOVE with the valance fabric in the pic!!! Florals are just the bomb!!

Very pretty valances! And the butterflies are too cute! Great job!

Glad you felt like sewing again. That is a good sign. Love your blocks.

that valance is gorgeous, i love it. sure gives me a good idea for my living room big window, love that fabric too. what did you do to it to get it to draw up in the middle? i love that.

I love butterflies and think these are beautiful. Sorry to hear you haven't been too well, and hope your feeling much better now.

I'm sorry I actually posted an answer earlier but it must not (obviously) have posted...
So I took some stick pins I use in jewlery making added a cl;ear pink leaf to the eye end of it, gathered the valance and stuck the pin through it and added a cap to keep it from coning loose.

But, I had a couple of other ideas you might like too! I thought about making to round button holes at the place the gathering would stop and using some fancy ribbon to wrap around the gathered part then run it from the back to front through the holes and make a pretty bow to hold the gathers. Or I saw on HGTV where they just used heavy thread to gather the curtains and then knotted the thread when they reached the desired gather. And they didn't do this but a nice wooden button or some other embellishment tied to the thread might be neat!
