Very Nice :thumbup:

Many thanks for all the wonderful replies... I failed to mention, the fabric I used was cut from her outgrown clothing.. except for the baby blue which was one of her sister's outgrown cotton nightgown... it was the first and last time I used 2" charms.. The idea for the butterfly was from one of her coloring books....

sorry, did not realize how blurry the picture was...

That is great - and you designed and made it yourself - wow you did good.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments... I truely enjoyed making it. To this day my dd still uses it.. It was my first quilt, though not my first sewing project. I used to love making my girls handmade clothes... Then my sil introduced me to quilting, went out and bought a rotary cutter, ruler, and mat. I have learned so much since then, and truely enjoy quilting. and I love this board!!! Thankyou!
