Five Ways to Quilt a Butterly

 Lately I can't seem to commit to just one quilting motif. I find myself doing a lot of alternating designs. This fun butterfly quilt inspired me. I came up with five different ways to quilt the butterflies. I am sure you could come up with even more great ideas!

 Multiple spirals.....

 Inward loopies.....

 Big spirals......

 Half of a feather......

Stacked scallops.

Repeat of Happy Mochi Zig Zag

Last week I was lucky enough to get to quilt this Happy Mochi zig zag quilt again. It has been hanging up at Gracie Lou's for over a year, and I know they sold some kits, so I am not surprised to get to quilt it once more. I filled the white space with a feather/spiral fill just like I did in the sample. This fill design is FUN to quilt. I won't mind at all if I get sent another just like it!

Log Cabin with Stars and Feather Background Fill

I quilted this quilt for my sweet neighbor Myrle a few weeks ago. She sewed this intensively for a few weeks. It is a gift for her daughter's bed. As you can see there are many, many small pieces in this quilt.

The portions of the quilt with patterned fabrics are quite busy, so I quilted those areas more simply. I focused the fancy quilting to the white background fabric which I filled with feathers and swirls.
