The fabric is a Butterflies and Berries 10" Stacker by Riley Blake Designs that I got in my Sew Sampler January Box along with the exclusive Flitter pattern. Isn't it just an adorable pairing of fabric and pattern. So cute!!!
I just love this little pattern and I am so glad I decided to rotate the layout of the butterflies as it just shows off the variety in the wings. And I realized I still had to add a blue border from the last time I shared it and I am so glad I did because it really sets off the design. And then the little white binding (which has a metallic silver dot!!!!) is just the perfect little finish. I just love it!!!
When it came time to quilt it, I decided I wanted to keep this super soft so I opted for a super loft batting and more minimal quilting. I love the loop de loop and I thought it fit well as it could be reminiscent of a butterfly flight pattern. And can you tell in this picture that I quilted it with Hot Pink thread!!! I tend to quilt with colors that blend, but this one is for my wee ones and they just love pink so I went loud and proud this time, and they are so, so, so loving the Hot Pink!!!!
And remember that extra block that I sewed up without realizing it . . . How cute does it look pieced into the back!!! Now I can write a special little tag to my little princesses :) And you can really see the quilting and loft in this backing. It is just so ready to be snuggled in!!
And that is my Flitter quilt all finished!! I am just so happy to have it all finished up because it makes my girls happy, and that is the perfect kind of finish!!
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!

What a lovely quilt for your girls to share! I love the surprises that come in the Sew Sampler Box every month too.
ReplyDeleteHow many nights will it rotate beds before someone demands another one be made?! Great quilting design choice for this cute flutterbys.

ReplyDeleteYour Flitter quilt is adorable and the quilting design is perfect! You're lucky that your girls decided to share instead of playing tug-of-war with it.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Melissa!! And if they really change beds with it every night, you might have to make up another one: maybe with a deep purple background! ;-) Have a great weekend!! Hugs, H
