Purple and Orange Butterflies

I bought the Hex N More ruler at least three years ago now intending to make the Comet quilt. That still has not happened. This is the Lotus. After a baby quilt detour, this butterfly print was once again my next project. I bought a few more orange and purple prints to make it happen. Originally, the butterflies were going to be the triangles, but I ended up having enough to cut jewels.

Hunter's Star Quilt

I finished my first quilt since 2020! I started this quilt in 2020, right after I finished the fox and feathers quilt. I made a bunch of half square triangles, was not motivated to trim them, and set it aside. Then we moved again, and that managed to consume an entire year. I was finally motivated to pick it up again because I cut a bunch of triangles for another quilt, coincidentally featuring the scraps of the fox fabric, and decided I should finish this quilt before starting another. 

Butterfly Bags

 

I was inspired to make more of these purses. Fortunately I read my own post about the adjustments I made to the pattern since it's been a few years since my initial bag-making binge. The one with the light purple button has a purple lining and the one with the dark purple button has an orange lining. One is going to the little girl who got the second triangle quilt. The other is going to the little sister of the little boy who received the car bag.

Butterfly Wall Art

Another decoration for my office. I decided I needed something more colorful to complement the owls. This one also has a bit of sparkle. I added some gold glitter glue to coordinate with the butterfly. It's only 9.5" square, so I still have quite a bit of wall space to fill.

Butterfly Card

Admittedly, this card did not require much skill or creative effort on my part, but I just love the look of it!

Butterflies

This was a mini-project for my aunt. I had some leftover fabric from the pot holders I made for her, so I wanted to make something else. I had used this design for one of my QBP blocks and I really liked it; however, I thought it would look better on a smaller scale, and I do like them better this size. Since they're only about 4.5", I only quilted the wings.

Quilt Block #37

I made this block on the spur of the moment last weekend, even though these fabrics had been sitting around awhile, as had the design for the block. I just love the paisley print! I think I might also try pairing it with green, as I had originally intended. Paisleys just offer so may possibilities! I would also like to try some smaller butterflies, even though the antennae require some hand-stitching. Maybe this one will not end up as part of the Quilt Block Project...
