Default Butterfly Quilt made new again
This quilt was given to my friend to finish. It is at least 50 years old. Not liking the brown background she took it apart and made a new one for it. It looks so good! I'm waiting for it to get quilted to see the final look. The first picture is the new updated quilt, the second picture is the before.
