My goal today was to finish my purple butterfly block. Here it is with the others I made.
The rest of the after noon was spent working on scrap crystals making the sub units for this gorgeous block. I really shouldn't show you the partial assembly because it would give away the instructions. I have enough partial assemblies to make four more of these big blocks. Lots of hsts left to cut and sew and press. I shall soldier on. Here are the ones I did months ago.
Linking up to RSC2019
I need to make three more. I didnt think green would look right and worried that aqua would not stand out against the blue but I will reconsider. Maybe a very pale whitish one in the middle would work too. Or perhaps a black butterfly. I would like to end up with 9.
I thought i was done before lunch so I rushed to take this picture. It topk me a while to figire out what I had done wrong. Itvlooks like a muscular butterfly with huge shoulders!
Thanks for sharing your "beefy" butterfly! I got a good chuckle out of that. Love, love, LOVE your Scrap Crystals in PURPLE!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The scrap crystals are a lot of work but worth it.
DeleteYour Scrap Crystals look great! I've been making that block for RSC, using a dark blue background. It's amazing how simple the one sub-unit is :)
