I always seem to have a quilt involving butterflies in the making around here. This fabric will be the background for my latest quilt. I love collage type fabrics.
Anyway...the quilt? Pickle Dish. The name will probably change later.
So far I only have four pickle dishes. It actually takes longer to cut these out (sans rotary cutter) than sew them together. These two pickle dishes have butterfly wings.
Someday the quilt may look like this one from Kathy Doughty's book, Making Quilts.
There's still a few butterflies around in the flower gardens but they are mostly the White Sulphurs that visit my Gomphrena. Time to think about next year's gardens!
Very pretty butterfly fabric, unusual. The pickle dishes look complex, lots of pieces!
ReplyDeletethat first photo is lovely butterfly fabric - I dont' have any to share though
ReplyDeleteThese are so jewel-like. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, those are gorgeous! Are you paper piecing? Looking forward to this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI do love Pickle Dishes. Your background looks perfect for it. Good luck with your progress.
ReplyDeleteYour pretty butterfly fabric reminded me that I received some this week, too! And that I needed to get a blog post finished. So thanks for the kick-start :)
ReplyDeleteYour pickle dishes are beautiful. I agree they'll look great with the butterfly collage fabric.
