I finished this smashing quilt on January 1, but I’ve had trouble getting a pleasing picture. I know what will happen if I wait too long; I’ll never write the post!
Here goes...
The pattern is Lepidoptera by Elizabeth Hartman. It took me a bit to wrap my mind around a construction method that wasn’t up and down after each seam, but I made it in the end. Of course, I made a few... pattern deviations, cutting a few butterflies with light and dark reversed, and one butterfly with a wing part rotated 180 degrees.
The butterflies are cut from a half-yard stack of Ombré Confetti (the original line) by V and Co. The center butterfly required two colors and even so, not much was left! The background is a glow in the dark Fairy Frost by Michael Miller.
I made this as part of my participation in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in 2019. This was helpful as I didn’t get overwhelmed making all the butterflies in a row, but I also didn’t have a chance to just give up.
The backing is a lovely gray blue butterfly batik. I quilted with white thread in loops and butterflies and bound it in white.
I’ll be tucking it away for my oldest to take to college,
from the room of Zana’s Ninis,
