No fireworks here in my area this past weekend.....just Rain Rain Rain....about 5 inches at my house......BUT....I did jump into sewing up some of these cute little butterfly blocks I saw on
Nedra's blog Cactus Needles. Nedra saw them on
Amy's blog Mrs. Schmenkman Quilts . Amy then saw them on
Choccy Bangles blog.......well.....you get the picture. Just giving credit where credit is due...Something that seems 'lacking' in some other bloggers. It's just
good manners ladies!!!!
Butterflies are usually flitting around flowers aren't' they....sooooo, I chose floral print fabrics and I opted for chocolate brown for my background instead of the black. I love the black the other gals used but wanted to experiment with something different. I had decided I didn't like them at first...but the more I sewed up the better I liked them as a whole. I really like this pattern. Thanks sooooo much
AMY for working out the
pattern/tutorial for us!!!
Goober is growing and growing. He is waiting here for a scrap of fabric to fall to the floor so he can grab it and run!!!
...............He is just
too funny!

ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous! I love the little prints you're using. Never saw these before, so I appreciate the links and your giving credit to who inspired yours. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwe...look at that face! He's so cute! :0)
ReplyDeletegreat butterflies
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly blocks are very fun! Puppy is just to funny! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI like the brown background too! Does Goober prefer black scraps or something?
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and I love the brown b.g. Yes, giving credit is just good manners, but that seems to have been a trait of years gone by. I just posted and linked back to 2 sites that had the background on my piece. Goobs is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks. Couldn't agree with you more about good manners!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these butterfly's showing up in different colors all over blogland. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteCute Butterflies - Cute puppy.
ReplyDeleteThe floral butterflies are going to make a very fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose butterfly blocks are really great. Another thing to file away for the future!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt. Love the brown background.
ReplyDeleteLove those butterfly blocks. Thanks so much for sharing the links.
ReplyDeleteGoober is a cutie!
Lovely block. I like your take on it, the brown and the cute 30's makes it a bit softer. I am thinking of using this as my bee block for my month of swapping. With a light center, that would work well for a signature block?
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the links and credits. I agree with you, there!
; )
all those pretty florals with the brown. i really like your interpretation of this block.
ReplyDeleteYou have great manners! I loved seeing this one on different blogs too and yours looks fantastic. Goober does look like good entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers and the brown background... it's a happy quilt!

LOVE your butterflies, Belinda!! So cute. I was trying to decide what to sew today -- maybe I'll sneak in some more butterflies! Can Goober come over and play?? What a CUTIE! Thanks for all the credits. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGoober looks such a character and I love the fabrics you are using......... Hugz from Bubz
ReplyDeleteYa know what??? these would be fun blocks sitting around to make a sweet little baby quilts...and I like your brown better!
ReplyDeleteThey are everywhere, rather like a growing swarm of bees or an invasion. I love them. Love love them. I want some too! When I say? I don't know. But I really really like your idea of chocolate brown. The dark background makes them pop.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with Goober! Is he a chihuahua? I have a black-and-tan one myself named Shadow Dante. He is my baby! I don't do much in the way of quilting, but I do sew and Shadow likes to bury himself under the pillows I make for my couch! Does Goober bury himself, too?
ReplyDeleteReally...how could anyone resist those huge ears and eyes?
Your blocks are fantastic and goober is stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteReader just updated to let me know that you had 3 "new" posts. Good ol' Reader... Anyway, you have been extremely busy. Congratulations on your reunion quilt bringing in so much money. That had to have felt really good. Goober sure has grown, and he is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh.. I love them.. so so lovely ones... really really have to check all this out... feels great to be back visiting and blogging again.. Hugs to you!! Lots to catch up on.. :O)
ReplyDeleteThose butterfly blocks are great, love all the different fabrics you're using. You dog is too cute!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flitting butterflies. I have seen them done on Bee in my Bonnet too. I like the brown background.
