    Thanks cheryl :thumbup:
    :thumbup: :thumbup: Hi Cheryl, IMHO this look is great. I love your pastels. You said that you bought the Dresdan already done. If you don't mind letting us know. Can you tell us where you got it? Did you purchase them at the same place? The butterflys are super and I bet you will be happy with it when the quilt is finished. Please show pictures, whatever you decide. BrendaK

    Cheryl, have you tried washing the fabric and see if the stiffening lessens after the wash? I have purchased all of these fabrics at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago, the ones in the Dresden plate and the butterfly material. When I washed the material, it softened up a little. I love the match you have made. Good luck and post it after you finish. Looking forward to seeing it.

    I think the sparkly butterfly in the center is perfect!

    I love it. I had a FQ of those sparkly butterflies and made a small purse for a little girl. I never thought of dresden plates with that as a center. It's beautiful.

    I have used the butterfly material, and did not have any problems with it. I think that would go very nicely together.
