The butterflies are just beautiful. Have fun making the quilt or whatever you decide to make out of this great find.

How you must treasure those beautiful blocks from your mother's hand. However you put them together, it will be a wonderful quilt.

i wondered about that comment myself. i never heard of that before. why would anyone turn their home over to medicaid?
medicaid doesn't need to be repaid. could you explain?

Oh I think a thin black would be very nice.

I haven't read the whole thread, but this is what I was thinking: use a narrow black (as in the butterfly bodies) for sashing. Then use your pretty butterfly print for a border -- width of your choice. What a great find. Your mom will be so proud.

beautiful I think a nice small print for the sashing with a small black border then if you have enough of the butterfly fabric you could use it for the back .
