Butterfly Effect was a long time in the making.
I enjoyed working on it with miss P. Here she is in May 2010 helping match the scrap pieces with the solids. I had gone through my solid stach and cut squares in groups of four from each color. It took four squares to make each butterfly block. Miss P loved to sit across from me and match the fabrics while I sewed.
After making all the blocks we tried quite a few different layouts.The quilt was inspired by a photo of a polyester double knit quilt that my friend Jessica Wilson purchased at a thrift shop.
The inspiration quilt is on the left, and my quilt top on the right.
I love how each print gets to be showcased a little with the surrounding solid fabric. Isn't that toaster print fun?
I am glad to have this one finished, back from the publisher, and finally photographed so that I can put it on our bed. It will be nice to have a colorful quilt on the bed this winter.
