Perfect fix, looks great!!!

Love the way your mind works. Love the quilt. Great save. BrendaK

It looks stunning! :) Thank you for sharing. :)

How clever. Love the added touch.

It makes the wall hanging!!!!

No one ever need know.......I would add one or two more in various blocks.. Beautiful!!!!!

Something like that is what I would have done....and have. The quilt is charming.

Look at picture 1st and thought how cute, then read your explanation. With the trail quilting great save!

What a wonderful idea. Pretty wallhanging too.

That's what I did when I poked a whole in a block and didn't want to redo it. I created a petal because there were cornflowers on the quilt and had it 'falling'. The I added some butterflies in other spots that had no holes so anyone looking at the quilt thought that had been the plan in the first place. I don't call them patches. I call them 'charms'.

what a beautiful wallhanging, and there are no oopses, only opportunities and that's where a little butterfly needed to be!!

Aren't you clever!!!! If you have more butterflies you might add them as well randomly.

Clever fix!

I like the way you quilted her flight path. Nice touch.

I believe that is what they call a design opportunity!!! Looks great

That is called a happy accident because that butterfly adds a lot of fun to the quilt.

that is awesome and the butterfly was a really cute Idea

Good thinking and the butterfly adds a nice surprise.

Smart thinking and the buttlerfly has its eye on the flower for a sip. Great.

Great wall hanging and PERFECT fix! Great breath of Spring.

That's called being creative. Cute wallhanging

Creativity!

I agree, hope to learn tatting. Great save on your beautiful quilt.

Perfect cover up! That's ingenuity!

What a creative idea! Love it!

I used to love tatting, learnt it as a child and was forever being told of at School as I would do it under my desk at classes :) Love your idea, I have used applique on many an occasion to cover a oopsy.

What a perfect, creative idea !! Well, they say necessity is the Mother of Invention & you have just proved it.
So nice to see some tatting, my maternal grandmother did tatting for years & I have missed seeing it so thank you for posting your creation.

Or you could have added a fused shape on there and quilted around the edge and no one would know you covered up a mistake.

That's how I got started sewing a tiny heart on everything that I make. I made a quilt for friends' 50th anniversary and when I received it back from the long-armer, there was a tiny rip right along the outer border.......something I am sure that she never even noticed. I didn't want to say anything but had to do something before giving it as a gift.
A little heart covered it beautifully and all thought it was so clever to put a heart on an anniversary quilt.
LITTLE DID THEY KNOW!!!!!!!!
I now place a heart on whatever I do...and being my birthday is Valentine's day, it has become my logo.

It looks great, just like it was meant to be there. beautiful quilt

I agree that the butterfly looks like you planned it. When people compliment it, and I am sure they will, just nod your head and say "Thank you."

Great minds are obviously similar. I finished my one and only bargello (sp?) quilt and the very center spot had a gap! So I cut out two 2' dragonflys and permanently glued them together (they were a match) and, leaving the wings free sewed the dragonfly down, covering the two sides that were loose. It's been 3 or 4 years now and my neice has told me to STOP FRETTING! It's good.

great save!!

I would add two more, I think things always look good in odd numbers. . . . .

Clever idea! Cute quilt. Love your paper piecing.

That's a darling quilt and I love the creative little butterfly!

This is so pretty! Daffodils are my favorite flower... reminds me that spring won't be far behind. Beautiful!

UR butterfly landed in the perfect spot. Love it!:cool:

Nice little butterfly to add a creative touch! :)

Looks like the Butterfly was meant to be there.
