The Purple Papillon Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is for my great-niece's birthday in October. She will be 10 and is a quite a serious little lady. I know she adores butterflies and when I asked her what her favorite color was, she said, "so purple it is almost black". With a few fabrics for contrast, this is what I came up with. Very simple pattern, but hoping she will like it. Everyone enjoy the weekend. [ATTACH=CONFIG]579157[/ATTACH]

Purple...is there any other color?

Does this pattern have a name? I'm always looking for "not too complicated" patterns for mission quilts. It a stunner !

It is really an applique pattern with animals. It is Mama and Me by Harebrained Happenings. I just left the animals off and used the block sizes and proceeded. It went together very quickly. I made it in less than two days which for me is record speed. Just 1" finished sashing and 4.5" border, it measures about 51 x 77".

A beautiful quilt made to the specifications of your great-niece. How did you ever find all those purple butterfly fabrics that coordinate so well? You did a wonderful job.

With the exception of two, they are from Benartex line. (I think)

The pattern is from Harebrained Happenings called Mama and Me. I just took the block sizes and sashed them per directions to make this quilt. She chose the dark focus fabric and I just chose the others. It does go together very quickly.
