Butterfly by Nancy H

Project Quilting Challenge 12.6 ~ Ab Intra ~ From Within

This week’s challenge is Latin for “From Within”. I thought about the butterfly merging from within the chrysalis. I embroidered a butterfly and created a chrysalis by embroidering one wing and covering it with black and silver tulle. The last picture shows all 6 of my PQ12 challenge placemats!

My quilt is 18”x12”. #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason12

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Prizes will be given out by random drawing. Each week is a different theme.

I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 18”x12” this year so I’ll have a set of placemats when I’m done. I’m putting a different purple batik on the back of each of them so they are reversible. I’m using a different fancy stitch for each to attach the binding. For the label, I’m writing on the back on the binding.
