Butterflies

 Another do.good Stitches quilt.  

I was the quilter for March, which means I pick the project, sew it together and quilt it. 
I have been eying these butterflies for a few years and I was so excited to finally try them out. 
Great tutorial here. 

Didn't want a square baby quilt so I decided to add borders to just the top and bottom.  And then I'm a sucker for a nice scalloped edge.  
Here's how I do it. 

This quilt will be given to our local community humanitarian center that serves all the churches and agencies in our corner of Idaho.  


Thank you to all the good ladies of the
FAITH circle on Do. Good. Stitches. 
Here's a peak at some of the 
finished quilts from this Flickr bee.

    I'm sure someone would be cheered up to receive such a pretty quilt. I liked that you made all the butterfly bodies yellow.
