I sat down, started stitching and cutting and Voila....
This was a bit of a color challenge for me because of all the browns and neutral tones...I am stretching...trying to move beyond my color comfort zone...Lets see how big it becomes.

How 15 minutes became 5 hours...
Okay, as I took a break from my intuition...and have not finished my other UFO's or my nieces piece...I decided to play with 1/2 yards and act as though they were scraps...I had recently purchased all of the butterfly fabric I could find in my fave City quilt shop..and then picked up some other neutral fabrics for ..what i imagined would be the backing..
I sat down, started stitching and cutting and Voila....
Scrappy blocks...Now where did the beige squares come from you ask...Well I realized i needed something somewhat neutral to off set the busyness of the scrappy blocks...so this is what i came up with. Now I am thinking about framing the middle with strips of the tangerine butterfly fabric...thin, since thats what i have left..then proceed with making borders around with the other fabric squares and remaining fabric that I have left.

Challenging to work in all in neutrals....love the pop of the tangerine!
Great fabric! Love it and I'm not a neutral person.
Lookin' very good! Your neutrals are so warm and friendly.
Beautiful! Love the idea of adding color, like tangerine, or even some of that yummy green - or the aqua or lavender found in the prints. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
I love your colour choices. I am adore autumn colours, so leaving them behind would be my challenge :-D
such a pretty quilt...great idea
It is wonderful! I am always impressed when things go so well from just random pieces. My mom loves butterflies and I bought a bunch of butterflies last year sometime with the purpose of making her a quilt.
glen; maybe this spring!
I liked this when I first saw it, and the more I come back to this blog and look at it, the more I like it. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one.
