I got busy early in the day yesterday with the binding on this quilt. It is all done by machine. I'm going to round off the numbers and say this is 35" x 44". Most of the fabrics are from the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s.
I think the backing fabric is from the same time period. Most of the butterfly blocks were made in that time period too. There were line drawings of them in a book but no patterns or measurements if I remember right. The little hourglass blocks were used as fillers to put it all together. Here is a post from October 2024 when I was getting ready to assemble the blocks in a quilt.
I finished knitting this dishcloth last night. They always look like a wonky shape when they are finished but they square up nicely with the first wash.

What a fun finish. I love the fabrics in the large butterfly wings. I didn’t start quilting until the 2000’s and don’t recognize the fabrics as being from the 1990’s/2000’s, but they are bright and fun so perfect for this quilt:)
The butterfly quilt turned out adorable! Way to save them from the UFO bin. The hourglass filler blocks are perfect for it. Beautiful finish.
Hooray for a bright and happy finish!
Your butterfly quilt is so pretty--a lovely finish;)))
Rain this morning early and temps finally down in the 60's...

a colorful wow finish!
Beautiful quilt, and I love the way the butterflies are flying in different directions! I am amazed you made this with no pattern.
Hope you got your rain - we got a sprinkle.
Love the butterflies and the filler hourglass blocks are genius.
Your butterfly quilt is so pretty, I have a friend that would absolutely flip over receiving a quilt like that :) She's a butterfly nut!
Such a pretty & fun quilt,I tried crocheting a washcloth got the yarn & hook suggested but the hook seems to big & wont go through the loops but could just be me😄
the butterflies make a cute quilt
Woohoo! Another finish and it's a cute one too!
Butterflies for a summer finish. Perfect.
I had forgotten all about your butterfly blocks and enjoyed going back to see the beginnings of it. And now you have created a quilt that takes my breath away. Fabrics and design couldn't be any better.
The binding and backing are so perfect on this one!
I would never have guessed these fabrics are 20+ years old.
OMG, that quilt is so cute! I'd be tempted to make that one.
