The butterfly print is really pretty, but I wonder if you should try something with a little more black in it? I'm really happy for, what a wonderful treasure you found... :idea:

what a great find, thanks again for sharing with us, can't wait to see the finished quilt

Such treasures you have found! There are soooooo many possiblities for these gems. Maybe they are calling for just a solid border with a coordinating fabric corner stone to frame them. Too much pattern would probably detract from the lovely work.

I think I would have cried if I had found something like that at Mom's.

I love the floral butterfly print that you showed. I think that would work well.

I am a big fan of black,the other fabrics seem to just POP off of it. Or piece a bunch of scraps together........low cost.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful and comforting comments about the butterflies Mama pieced. She pieced them from scraps, so I may try to go thru her scraps and see if there is anything in there that would work, before I buy something.

God Bless each of you!

What a priceless treasure you have found...

oh my goodness... these are so special. I like the look of it just the way you've laid it out, and would consider connecting the blocks sans sashing. They're so beautiful, they need nothing else. A lovely summer quilt. Maybe batted with a heavy white flannel (sheet?). A muslin backing? Perhaps your butterfly fabric could serve as the binding. Or a darker solid fabric... which ever way you go, it will surely be lovely. blessings to you & your mom...

How lucky can you get? What a wonderful find and something you can really treasure from your mom.

Beautiful.
