One more finish for the Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project.
This quilt top was sent to me from a fellow quilter to finish for the project.
I love the rainbow of Kaffe fabrics against the crisp white background don't you!
I found a purple patterned backing and had enough left over to use it for the binding too.
The rainbow of happy colors reminded me of a flower garden so I used a pantograph of butterflies fluttering along for the quilting pattern using a white King Tut Superior thread:
I plan to machine sew the binding down tonight, pop the quilt into the wash, then it's on it's way to: .

That's a beauty. I love that you used a butterfly pantograph... Someday I'll finish my butterfly quilt. Are you still taking outside orders for quilting?

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt—and the butterfly quilting is perfect for it. I think Jackson approves. I’m so glad you can still do some quilting. I hope all is going according to plan with your move.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully finished, Val! The piecing and fabric selections are lovely, and your butterfly quilting is just the perfect touch. Happy Independence Day! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual use of Kaffe fabrics, but effective nonetheless. Good choice of the butterflies for the quilting. Thank you for donating your quilting services for a very worthy cause. I hope the whole moving thing is, well, moving along. Good to hear from you.
