I do like the inner border and the fabric you decided to go with, the colours of the butterflies seem to be more intense with this treatment.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-698156302788865252021-07-22T21:32:20.263-05:002021-07-22T21:32:20.263-05:00I enjoyed living in Denver and sometimes wish I wa...I enjoyed living in Denver and sometimes wish I was still there. You will find a great solution. They all sound good. And we'll be making more quilts so we can use our other ideas later. I liked using up all my butterflies this time. No leftovers at all.

I still can't figure out why the wings look curved but they even do that on the straight bodies that I've seen. <br />Authors can be so inventive. I wonder what it would be like to have coffee and conversation with one of them.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-36330272991320691412021-07-22T21:27:23.670-05:002021-07-22T21:27:23.670-05:00I never liked the cigar size bodies either but the...I never liked the cigar size bodies either but these tapering versions were fiddly to sew. I won't make them again but I might try a narrow, straight body. Perhaps it will look like a cigarette.

That book sounds interesting. . . where do people come up with ideas like this? We've been in a definite heat wave here. We got a little rain yesterday. I'm hoping for more today.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-88266415012133661282021-07-20T08:52:18.678-05:002021-07-20T08:52:18.678-05:00I like the improv-ness of your butterflies.
