I am participating in the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin which is an annual event beginning every January. You can find all the details at Round #2 for the 2026 SAHRR | Quilting Gail
This week is round 3. I had to dig deep into the creative brain cell to think of something this time. After a few sleeps and some trials in EQ, I decided to add a border to create an open area for quilting and a place to rest your eye. Animals was the challenge this week I tried to stay with the floral theme of the fabrics and made some butterfly appliques.
I pieced a 4 inch border with background fabric, added a 1 inch trim of color then put a butterfly in the 4 corners. They are fused but I still need to blanket stitch them down.
I also made 8 more smaller butterflies to try in the remaining open areas of this border. I pinned 2 in place on one side of the border just to see if it would work. If I envision these 8 butterflies going around the border, will it be TOO MUCH ? I think it will be too much but what do YOU THINK?
I'm linking up with The Darling Dogwood and these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
