Miss Abagail loves purple and butterflies. The quilt was quilted first without the butterflies appliqued on to it. That kept the feathers pattern going under the feathers instead of along side of them. It also made it easier to quilt. After the intertwining feathers were quilted, the butterflies were fused onto the top. The bottom one hangs over the edge of the binding and is backed with regular fabric. The bottom half is not stitched down. The other butterflies go from big to small as they go to the top of the quilt. The top butterflies are cut out of a fabric print. Quilting was also used to decorate the butterfly wings.
The small purple border was taken from the backing fabric. After the quilt was squared up, the backing fabric cut off was used for the binding.
Hi Deb, it's Izy from U.K you may remember me from QB. I have recently joined anew FB group and I have Shared your stained glass quilt there as one of the members is wanting to transfer her talent from glass to fabric. Hope you are keeping well. Looking forward to catching up with all your recent projects here! This quilt is amazing love the idea of adding the appliqué after the quilting -clever and very effective!
