My husband had a grand niece born this year and I was asked to make a baby quilt.
I drew out this butterfly quilt. Each butterfly is handmade, stuffed and appliqued onto the quilt. Then I added the vines. All was hand sewn for placement and design ideas- aka tryouts. The butterfly became the flowers. Each wing is an assortment of fabrics. the vine and leaves is also a combination of fabrics.
After all the parts were good, I put the border and the batting and backing.
Then I machine quilted every part. Yes, some of the wings are floppy. The bodies are also made of velvet and fun fur. This quilt is made to be touched.
Wings are stuffed with a plastic liner to keep stiff.
All hand made and hand sewn. This one is hand ruched velvet and wool antennae.
My goal was LOTS of colors
