| Design Concept:
On a hot sunny day in early September of 2010 I went out
to my herb garden and discovered the chives in full bloom
with butterflies resting among the blossoms. I grabbed my
camera and took the photograph that inspired this quilt
design. The design was drawn first with pencil on copier
paper then enlarged to 48" x 48" on freezer paper.
The freezer paper was cut into shapes which became the templates
for cutting the fabric. All of the fabrics in this quilt
are from Caryl's various collections for Benartex.
This is my second butterfly quilt. The first, Lepidopteran
#1 was made in 1994. |
