It’s starting to look like a butterfly. I feel a little tingling in my toes. It is funny how some quilts excite me from the very beginning while others take their own time to warm me. When I am working on one that excites me from the very start, I wake up in the morning and can’t wait to get to it. Maybe it’s the most challenging ones. I dream about how to work out the smallest details. I think about them when I am away from them. But as soon as I get close to the end of it my mind is off and running to the next project.
I have also found that the challenge doesn’t feel the same the second or third time around. Maybe that’s it. I have made this pattern before so there is nothing for me to figure out. I know! I’ll figure exciting ways to embellish the wings and the antenna.
It needs to be trimmed before I can put it together and I’ve decided to add a squared border to the edges. But at least it is taking wings.
Wow, that is beautiful. I love butterflies. Can’t wait to see it done.
I can’t even imagine doing round! I have a challenge getting straight lines correct. You have great colors and the pattern is really coming along nicely.
