Three More Butterflies


Now I have to decide whether this will be a wall hanging or a bed quilt. If it's a wall hanging I have enough butterflies. If it is to be for a bed I need at least three more to make it a rectangle. I am leaning toward a wall hanging but I may still get the urge to make a few more butterflies. I have decided to cut the blocks at angles so the butterflies will flutter and if I use sashing at all it will be the same blue, just to give them a bit more space. Then I will either put on a green border to suggest leaves or else leave it with no border and just bind it. This might even be a good one to try just backing it with no border as I have seen on some blogs. Or I could bind it with a brown to make it look like a window frame. Or white. The possibilities are endless.

I love your bright butterflies. They would make a great quilt. I would not do any borders just a binding.

Lovely Butterflies. Make a bed quilt and just bind it. It doesn't need a border.

Love the attic window sashing idea from Elaine. My vote is to go for the bed size!!!
