While I was cutting this quilt, I also cut 5.5" squares to do another quilt. I am embroidering one color designs on a mottled coral colored fabric to appear here and there in the quilt.
My eyes were tired after all of the bright lights that were directed into them yesterday at my annual exam so I didn't get too ambitious for the rest of the day.
I did get outside to take another picture of a butterfly. This time I noticed that it has a pink outline and pink legs and a green eye. If I ever do fantasy butterflies in a quilt, I have a lot more ideas for colors than I had before.
Here are 2 of the ground covers in my front flower bed. They are taking over a whole section so I need to go out and dig as soon as it dries up a little bit more.
We have sunshine this morning and a promise of warm temperatures by afternoon. It was in the 50's this morning.

I love the colors of the fabrics you are cutting. The embroidery is perfect for the fabric. The 1st quilt that you made with this fabric is gorgeous. Your flowers are beautiful.
I like the emb designs on that fabric.Wig.
Love the floral embroidered designs.
Another fabulous quilt in the works.
Butterfly's and flowers are such a treat as our summer winds down. And to have them photographed...
I plan to look at your photos come mid winter and know they will get me through those frosty days.

Red and gold, a combination that's hard to beat. Beautiful.
I absolutely love the one-colour embroidery on those blocks! That is going to be a stunning piece!
i never knew there were butterflies outlined in pink! Do you know what type of butterfly that is?
Who knew butterflies could be so fascinating?
I never have cared much for butterfly motifs on quilting fabric (many are too cutesy), but the real thing is way cool.
Your hot pink/red quilt is very cheerful!

A great tip about pressing the seams open, too.
This quilt is going to be so pretty. I love the colors you chose - and those embroderies are lovely too. I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Those embroideries look great!
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I'd be interested to know what a no-reply comment is and how to change it? Thanks.
Love the monochromatic embroideries...
Thanks for the help with my profile Wanda. I think it's fixed now.
