BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

We are so lucky to be in a quilt shop everyday!  We are inspired by so many things.  Customers projects, fabric collections, patterns, books and magazines.  Once in a while one of us is lucky enough to make a quilt just because, just for fun, just for themselves.

Today was Joyce's show and tell of one of those 'just because' quilts. A customer shared a simple butterfly applique pattern with her.  She had a Rose Parade Layer Cake.  She was loving the 'new' gray fabrics in the shop.  Trumpets, please.

This is just so fresh and unexpected, with the gray background fabric.  So Beautiful!

 She used the same green for the bodies on all the butterflies.  It really ties it all together.

 Free hand Feathers by Pam.  Even better after washing!

 The perfect stripe binding!

Looks a little Cath Kidtson.  Don't you think?

Joyce is an amazing quilter.  Her applique is flawless, and her color choices are the best, ever.

I feel so lucky to have her on my staff, and to call her my friend!  J
