    Love your work!! What size are the butterfly blocks? Doing a 'solid' between sounds okay. If you do go that way, IMHO it would look cute if you did the outlines of the butterflies in the solid block, when you quilt it.

    PS - where did you get the pattern? I love butterflies.

    please don't say that. i have the same pattern and i was thinking 96 x 96.
    now i'm thinking of the way that elenore burns does it. hers is a different butterfly pattern but it would still work.

    I think the plain squares would highlight the butterflies, too. Very lovely butterflys by the way!

    There are so many options. My favorite would be plain squares of maybe marbled fabrics to coordinate with butterflies. Seems to me that some plainer squared would accent your butterflies more.

    That is truly beautifal and a work of art. Your GD will love it.
    Your are very talented. I can't believe your doing that all by hand. I'm impressed. :thumbup:
