Mariposas - quilted tote bag featuring cross stitch
 

I recently cross stitched these butterflies (best way to pass the time during unbearably long flights and airport transits). I thought I would marry it with my other favourite hobby of quilting. Other side of tote is pieced and quilted.
- based on pattern Charming Totes 4 by Whistlepig Creek Productions
- cross stitch is an inexpensive kit picked up Walmart for $7 (providing many hours of diversion)

Very pretty. Love all your colors for the fabric.

Very clever of you to make this lovely tote...the butterflies seem to be hovering over the background. :)
