    I am making this for my 8yr old GD and it is alot of hand applique using freezer paper. I want it to fit her full bed and now I am thinking about putting plain squared inbetween the butterfly squares instead of all butterflys. What do you all think? I have made 30 butterfly squares so far.

    Very pretty! I think it would look good either way!

    Sew cute! I think plain squares in between would really highlight the butterflies.

    I love your work. It sure took some real love to make all those squares. Maybe a sashing of verdigis green would make this come alive. Kind of a stained glass window look.

    30 blocks and the sashing and cornerstones will not make it big enough for a full size bed? it should be big enough....
    Looks good and girly...

    How about a pertty pieced block inbetween the butterflys, or even a simple four or nine patch.

    Many quilts have more than one type of block in them.

    Your appliqued butterflies are beautiful.
