BIG THANKS!
Inspriration came from this stack of fabrics by Kona Bay
The Pattern came from a Block of the Month class that we have been running at Thread and Bolts this year with Marti Michell, using her Perfect Patchwork Templates.
Most of the construction of this quilt happened in the 2 weeks prior to Spring Trends this year.
When the fliers came out and we saw that Marti was going to be there there was some major hustle going on at the Thread and Bolts Studio. Many hours were spent cutting and auditioning fabrics for each block.
The center of each block was 'Fussy-cut' from the Butterfly fabric.
There were only 6 fabrics used. The pattern gives directions for 12.
6.5" Butterfly Borders on and ready to be quilted.
The quilt arrived at EE Schencks just in time for photography.
