My friend, Agnes, made the most beautiful butterfly quilt, I just have to share it.
Her hand work on each butterfly is so pretty.
She used pretty 30's prints for the butterflies and prints that read "solid" for the background & sashing.
I straight line quilted along her running stitches on each butterfly.
I quilted a simple stipple in the background,
and added simple swirly feathers in the sashing & borders.
She made it for her bed and it looks so, so pretty!
I love the simplicity of this quilt.
The prints are perfect for this traditional pattern.
A bit of spring and sunshine to get you through the cold Montana winters!
Thanks, Agnes - it's a beauty....
The quilting is a beautiful enhancement to this quilt. You did a great job on a great quilt top. I love the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie - it's such a pretty quilt!
DeleteI love the black stitching around the butterflies - really makes the quilt striking. And, of course, your quilting is striking as well! Do you have snow? We do, and it hasn't melted yet. Bah, humbug.
ReplyDeleteAgnes did a beautiful job with her embroidery work - so simple & so striking. Yes, we have snow, but it's melting!
DeleteI love your quilting technique for the sashing. What was your path?
ReplyDeleteJoy - thanks for the compliment! That's a quilting design that makes me happy - just start with the swirls and add feathers whenever you feel like it. It flows really easily & is so fun. Always softens a quilting area.
