Jenny's Butterflies

Ok, Jenny, here are a couple more choices for your edge-to-edge quilting on the 2 quilts. Take a look and tell em if one of these looks good to you. I have more...

This one is called Wandering Daisies:












This one is Petaline:















And this one is Tulip Festival:


















These quilts are so fun. I love the pattern. And the colors are
light a summer day, all bright and cheerful.

I pieced the backings for you. One of these days I'm going to show you how easy it is to piece a backing. It isn't hard, just a bit time-consuming. But Martha's method makes it simple and fool-proof. I could not make the butterfly backing fit for both quilts so I will use the butterfly backing on Quilt B per your request and put the other backing, the floral on Quilt A.

I have a pretty pattern called Butterfly Charm that I think might look good on these quilts. Check out the photo. I think at since the quilts are so small, an edge-to-edge quilt pattern would look best. Or I can treat the borders separately, if you want but that will make the quilting more expensive. It would be an additional $20 per quilt to quilt the borders separately.


Or I can do a free-motion butterfly-loop-flower-heart-shaped leaf pattern all over.

I thought that a bright green thread would look good on top. I have one called Gatsby Green that looks great. Or I can tone it down with a natural white thread on top. They both look good on the quilt tops. I'll put a coordinating thread on the back to blend with the fabric. Since I will be using the same thread on both quilts, I will only charge one thread charge of $5.00

Batting - I have some fluffy Dream Angel poly that is fire-retardant. That would be $9 per quilt. I also have cotton if you are looking for a thinner natural feel. Cotton batting is a bit more expensive at $10.

I have about 5 quilts ahead of you so I probably won't get to them for about 2-3 weeks. I priced those out at about $46 each. The total came to $91.34 for an edge to edge pattern with batting, thread and tax included.

Give me a call or send me an email with you decisions. If you want to come over and look at the thread of make another selection, give me a buzz. I get home about 6 PM.
