Today so many butterflies arrived at my house by mail!! These are the sample blocks from our Butterfly swap that came today. They are so creative and beautiful!!! I can hardly wait until all the butterflies are here so I can start putting our breast cancer charity quilt together.
I just finished my Nevada Butterfly for our Butterfly Batik Swap. I love the colors on this one. It may not resemble a Nevada butterfly….I created it out of my imagination. I am representing the state of Nevada where I used to live when I was 5 years old.
I love cutting my fabric scraps up in 2″, 2.5″ 3″ and 5″ squares for future projects. I got the idea when I participated in the 2000 challenge swap. I have a whole tub of these squares from the swap but still no quilt made from them. Although I have made a watercolor wall hanging from my 2″ squares. I love working with them creating a picture.
I am hoping my new blog will help keep me motivated in working on my Nifty Fifty Quilts. I have so many still to quilt. Right now I am working on the NF 22 quilt which are state quilt blocks made from Carol Doak’s Fab paper-piecing stars.
