What a great quilt. Retreats are so much fun with wonderful memories, laughs and giggles, chocolate and projects completed.

The week before we left I spent 3 days cutting the entire quilt and we spent 2 and a half days at retreat piecing the top. Then on Thursday I quilted it at our LQS on her longarm.

The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono and is King Size 104 inches square

From start to finish it took 3 weeks

Thank you for looking

This is the pattern I've been searching for!! How can I obtain one? I'm willing to purchase one used!
Thank you!!

Beautiful quilt! I wouldn't think an army of sewing machines could make that in just a weekend.

Glad to know that quilt retreats are happening again.

oops, didn't read far enough. 3 weeks, not one weekend. Still impressive!

Lovely, lovely quilt. I particularly like the colors you chose.

Glad to know that quilt retreats are happening again.

They were happening regularly in 2014. LOL This is an old post. But I'm glad to report all the retreat centers I usually go to are open and fully booked for the rest of the year.

Really like that - awesome and good time spent with DD.

juliasb 05-29-2021 08:34 AM

Wonderful job! How long did it take to cut all the pieces? And you two finished it over a weekend and quilted it in one day! Amazing. Be proud of yourselves.

This is gorgeous! What a wonderful way to spend time with your daughter! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

Wow! That's gorgeous! I'm so impressed that you can do a collaborative quilt. I'm not sure I could ever do that. I admire those that can.

I realize this is a very old post, but I am hoping that someone here has a pattern for this quilt as I have scoured the internet and can not seem to find one anywhere. thank you for you help.

The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono

That is awesome.

rjwilder 11-25-2021 05:55 AM

Stunning quilt, I love all the colors, so bright and cheerful.

Fabric Galore 11-25-2021 06:26 AM

I can't believe you finished this quilt in just 3 weeks. I wish I had a daughter that loved to quilt but none of my 3 are interested. My oldest DD sews and my youngest DD says she may take up quilting when she retires. I can only hope one of them will inherit all of my stash when I am gone or my husband will be overwhelmed.

Linda1 11-26-2021 04:16 AM

You and your daughter do beautiful work.

sewingsuz 11-29-2021 05:58 PM

Lovely quilt Karen. you did an awesome job.

Karamarie 11-30-2021 06:22 AM

Absolutely beautiful. Every time you look at it, you will be reminded of the time spent with daughter in making it.
