I ended up having to work late a few nights in order to make up the time spent with DT due to her illness, so not a lot of sewing happened this week. I did finish this month's scrappy butterfly block.

I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm up to three butterflies now (one is from last year). I've been playing around with settings for these blocks, but haven't come up with one I'm in love with yet.
I'm still stitching half square triangles for this month's Inverted Star block and one of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler blocks is in progress. That's about all I had time for this week.
I'm linking up with Soscrappy before we head out the door for today's volleyball tournament. Check out all the cool scrap projects in the works there.
The middle of winter, and there are beautiful butterflies fluttering by!
ReplyDeleteYour butterflies are looking so pretty! Glad to hear DT is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are sweet Kate.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready to see butterflies and not snow. Your butterflies are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterflies emerging into this unusually cold and snowy winter gives you hope for the return of spring.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I'm so sorry DT had a yucky week.
ReplyDeletePoor DT! She's had a bad time of it this winter. Your butterflies are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty butterfly's! Love the pink print in this months. With the pretty blue background they could be flying in the sky with a few clouds added in for the top.
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter is feeling better.
Great butterfly blocks, after this winter I will be looking forward to some real ones outside. I am sure you will come with a great idea on how to set these.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I like these prints you're using! The pink floral is lovely. But I *love* the spider web print you're using in the blue box!! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scrappy butterflies Kate ...Im sure whatever layout you choose it will look like your butterflies are floating across your quilt looking for flowers to rest on.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love butterflies and dragonflies. I especially like the spider web fabric used on the wings. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone at your house is well soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the butterflies!
I love your butterflies. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about DT. It is the time of year for so many illnesses. Love your new butterfly, I'm sure the setting will come to you over time.
ReplyDeleteLove those butterflies. Maybe when you have more the layout will just come to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about DT but glad she's now better and back to school. Your butterflies are multiplying nicely! They look so good :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty butterflies.
ReplyDeletePoor DT hope she is feeling much better soon. My hubby ended up in hospital on Amoxicillin and he just about has a heart attack every time the kids are put on it. It upsets my kids stomachs as well but not bad enough to vomit just feel sick sometimes you wonder if the antibiotics are worth it. I don't know what the equivalent of strep is here our Drs don't use that term.
Do you have more of that background fabric? You could use it to put the blocks together "every which way" so that it looks like they're flying. Making a few smaller ones would add to the illusion.
ReplyDeleteHope DT is well and truly over it by now.
