One of my favorite patterns to make is my Baby Butterflies. These modern butterflies are so adorable--and they can be made from 2-1/2" strips, so they are perfect for jelly rolls or scraps. I decided that I needed to make a small, rainbow, scrappy butterfly quilt for my dog Buddy (and me, of course). It was to be about the size of a baby quilt...lol...
So about a week ago I started grabbing fabric from my stash and cutting strips, then subcutting to make the wings. This is the pile that I'm sewing from right now. I needed about 80 pairs of wings and I ended up with over 200 different sets!! Crazy....
While I was at it, I cut extra wings...because...why not? I'm sure this is going to be super-duper and maybe I'll want to make another one, right?? So here are an extra 500+ pairs of wings...
And since I was already cutting something scrappy, I figured I might as well cut a bunch of 2-1/2" strips, just because...and that became it's own project!
I finally got to sewing yesterday, with Rebecca's help, and I like where this is going!! I'll post more on the print for center of the butterflies when I can get a good pic. And more on where I've been the last year...
Happy Quilting!
