Las Mariposas (Neonatal)

I had 3 blocks left from Lily James’s quilt, so I added 6 more and made a neonatal quilt. I quilted this one more like the pattern (spirals) in concentric arcs on my “domestic” machine (I used the Janome heavy duty machine). 
  • Size: 35 1/2” x 35 1/2” Neonatal size
  • Quilting: Quilted in concentric arcs on my domestic machine (Janome). Like the pattern, I quilted over the butterflies. I used green variegated 100% cotton thread from Connecting Threads. Quilting by Patty.
  • Backing: Butterfly printed cotton from my inventory. Fabric was bought from a fabric.com sale. The butterfly print backing is a bit overwhelming for the top, for several reasons, including the butterflies on the back are more realistic and prettier.
  • Batting: 80% cotton/20% polyester batting from Winline
  • Binding:  Plain navy blue-colored cotton from my inventory.
  • Pattern:  Applique pattern by Edyta Sitar, using an accuquilt die. Applique and piecing by Patty.
  • Quilting on domestic April 14, 2018. (Patty). 
  • Binding by Patty. 
  • QC by Spencer.
