Colleen showed this quilt before...and it is so lovely.
All of these butterflies are hankies that have been sewn and embroidered...What a special memory quilt.
I just did swirls in the background...in the small sashings i just traced over the lines that were already there...just to quilt it but not compete with her fussy cut sashing.
Same with the border I just did micro stipple around the big flowers.... in blue thread.
It's a beautiful quilt..perfect to hang on the wall.
Thanks so much!
I quilted everything freehand on an INNOVA( 26). I used hobbs polydown batting.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! My grandmother will be smiling down at both of us for not allowng her hankies to lie in a dark dresser drawer any longer.
You did a beautiful job making my butterflies swirl around this quilt, Charisma !!
Thank you SandyinZ4 for helping me complete my butterflies..
