How you must treasure those beautiful blocks from your mother's hand. However you put them together, it will be a wonderful quilt.

i wondered about that comment myself. i never heard of that before. why would anyone turn their home over to medicaid?
medicaid doesn't need to be repaid. could you explain?

Would this work?

I haven't read the whole thread, but this is what I was thinking: use a narrow black (as in the butterfly bodies) for sashing. Then use your pretty butterfly print for a border -- width of your choice. What a great find. Your mom will be so proud.

beautiful I think a nice small print for the sashing with a small black border then if you have enough of the butterfly fabric you could use it for the back .
