The butterfly quilt is finished. I had my two little professional models demo it for me. I have never made a quilt like this and it presented some challenges. First off I had to get the pattern blown up by 400%. That required a trip to the local copy store. Then I had to sew curves which turned out fine but sewing around the angles did not go so well. I am not sure what the secret to that is so I will have to investigate that area if I ever make this pattern again.
The colors came out really great on this quilt. The recipient, a seven year old girl, chose all the colors herself (I helped a little). Her color scheme came out nice. I putt a little extra stuffing in the body portion of the butterfly. This is not what the pattern called for but I think it gave it an extra nice touch. I can't wait to give this to her. I know she is going to love it.
