Absolutely fantastic! The black and white background makes the splashes of color all the more vivid and interesting. I hope you will enter this quilt in shows so more people can see it in person.

Please tell us more about this beauty.

It is machine embroidery. The background is white blocks that are first stippled and then the black designs are embroidered. The butterflies and birds are all embroidered. The first sashing is done in the hoop. I added the black and white sashing and border and black binding. The pattern is Anita Goodesign.

Here are some close-ups...
