If you could find the back ground fabric you could emboridery a butterfly on them and off set the fabric ones. I could not tell what pattern was on the background fabric. Sorry, I know this is not any help.

Are they handerchiefs? Lovely idea.

Sewmuchmore, thank you ! I may find something close to the background to use, I did find a soft rose ( lots ) in my stash, willlay it out & see.
The one is a white on white & the other set is a off white /cream on the same color. It was fabric left over from making curtains for some one about 8 yrs. ago. It is a cotton blend. |
Viciki W, yes they are :-)

thanks for sharing. now I have another project in my roundtuit file. have many of mom's hankies tucked away in a drawer and always wondered what I could do with them. the butterfly idea really shows off the hankies. thanks again

What a neat idea, they look so dainty.

Beautiful hankies!!

Hi Lab55,
I'm thinking since the 2 backgrounds are different, and since the butterflies are all different prints, maybe a batik would be nice for the sashing strips. I would probably take them to a quilt store and audition them with various fabrics till one jumped out at me. (Which is how I came to have such a large stash). And yes, butterflies do like flowers so I might find some delicate prints to alternate solid blocks with these you have made-or for cornerstones. |
I have several fabrics like these, you will send me a message with an up-close pic, I will see if I have some and if I do, you are welcome to it.
