I am thrilled to have another finish! This is my Butterfly Garden Quilt--the design can be found in Lori Holt's book, Quilty Fun. I followed the pattern exactly and it measures 54 x 61 inches after washing.
Here is the backing which is a white with a navy blue swirl. I quilted it with navy thread on my mom's longarm.
Here is an up close picture of the loopy quilting. The fabric that I used for the butterfly bodies is the same as the backing.
I love the cheerful flowers that are in the top and bottom borders. This will be used as a tablecloth for my dining room table. I have colorful, bright Fiestaware dishes that will look adorable on this.
I also completed Clue #2 of the mystery quilt I am making with Butterfly Threads. More information can be found here:
I also started another project yesterday--a feminine baby quilt. I gave my last girlie baby quilt away to a neighbor the other day and decided I needed to make another couple to have on hand. I will post about that this weekend.
I am heading over to my mom's today to work on Whatcha Got bags. Here are a couple I made last year.
The bright butterfly colors are oh so pretty.
