This quilt is the reason for my not being so chatty on Cute for the last while. I had to finish it for this past Saturday for our quilt group's Christmas in July party. It was the result of a challenge issued to the group to use some butterfly fabric in any way we wished to. I had made the background quilt in another class and decided to use it as the backdrop for my garden of daisies and butterfly (or 'flutterbies' as my children used to cal them). The daisies, leaves and butterflies are ironed on with double-sided applique paper and then raw edge machine appliqued. The stems were made with a bias binding maker, attached with double-sided applique paper and then machine stitched into place. The quilt is heavily quilted by machine. It was great fun to make.
