…finished. Yes! Can you tell that I get tetchy when I’m sewing class samples?? I’m sorry I snapped yesterday, but talking to you guys and checking out what you are all up to is so appealing when I’m trying to make myself sew. This is what it is – a sample for my students to make in class. I’ve been thinking that it really does need to manifest itself in a full-size quilt (along with a whole cluster of butterfly buddies), but it makes me feel just a little bit sick when I think of the amount of sewing it will need.
Thanks for all the Good Lovin’ comments (except YOU Sussanah, pretty , jealous thing that you are 
)

this is just brilliant!! i am a huge fan of the echoed butterfly shapes in the quilting- it gives the peice a whole other dimension
this reminds me of butterflies circling across a full moon and has a bit of a magical feel to it

That is gorgeous. I think I would die of fright if I fronted up to your class and had to make it though… it looks so complicated.

That’s one gorgeous butterfly. A quilt full of them would be stunning. But what a lot of work.

Oh Wow! This is beautiful. Getting updated on your blog just made me look at the clock (after you mentioned getting back to work) and I realise that I have been on this computer for three (delicious) hours! Now I need to get back to my butterfly quilt quick smart (although I’m not sure it looks half as nice as yours!)
