Quilting: Sunflowers and Butterfly quilted wall ha

Sunflowers and Butterfly quilted wall ha

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Costume

For: Home

Style: Funky, Cute


Materials

Batiks for the background, and appliqued sunflowers, embroidery designs for the butterflies.

What was your inspiration?

I love sunflowers and I also love quilting, my favorite type of quilting pattern is called Bargello, which is what I did with the background, I wanted something spring/summery after a long cold winter.

What are you most proud of?

That I achieved this without any kind of pattern. I really like the way it turned out, and I think it'll look cool in my entryway when I get through binding it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Draw a sketch of your design before you start, relax and have fun. It's OK if you mess up, cover it with an applique!

Gorgeous, I love it when somebody is like me. Color outside the lines and make your own pattern. I have so many in my head there isn't much room left.
