But, I was browsing through this thrift store magazine (notice the 25 cent price in the corner) and saw this butterfly block and just had to try it. I love blocks that use a lot of pieces of different colors and that are complicated to put together. Don't ask me why. I want to try all sorts of different combinations now that I understand how it works. I may even sacrifice a few of my greens. I'm not sure how big this will get but once I start piecing things like these butterflies I keep waning to try just one more in yellows or oranges or pinks. I'm sure it won't be as large as queen sized though because I don't enjoy quilting anything that large.

I love butterflies - they're just my most favourite thing but I usually applique them - that's a really nice pieced block
Neat butterflies--everyone needs a sunny day in the winter.
Butterflies are just lovely, and you've made a wonderful job of them. Will you make more, or make something up with the two of them?

I have that magazine, Joyce. Were the blocks difficult to piece? I keep wanting that blue/white churn dash on the front. :)
They turned out just beautifully, Joyce! A pretty door banner for the springtime would be nice, wouldn't it!
Good for you for just jumping in and trying something from a whim!
what a wonderfully colourful block! I know its warm for November, are you hoping for spring already? :-)
Nice butterflie block....I like your colors...
Love the butterflies! Such sunny colors!
What a neat block. I would have tried it also. Your color choices are great.
What a great block!
very nice butterfly blocks. I like the background fabric you have used. I hope you will show more of them when you make them.
Oooh, love your butterfly blocks. Will make up into a beautiful project!
Pretty butterflies - and the background fabric is just perfect to show them off.
Ohhh, so pretty! Your colors are great! Those butterflies just seem to pop of the fabric. Thanks for visiting my blog and your encouraging comments. I'm off to read the rest of your blog.
