I decided to use flowers, hearts and loops in the pink areas, a whimsical flower in each white cornerstone, a small meander in the butterfly background and a couple loops through the wings. I did not stitch through the polyester double knit butterfly bodies. The pictures below show before and after pictures of the quilt when it’s on the frame. The dense stitching flattened the puckered areas beautifully! I was very happy about that! The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly and the thread is a white PermaCore. Here’s a link to Part I of this quilting story.

I saw this quilt before and after the machine quilting – it only looked amazing AFTER Linda was done quilting it – difference of night and day!
You are awesome Linda!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! The next post will show the finished quilt.
I had the pleasure of watching this go from a sad, sad shape to an unbelievable and beautiful result. I love the story behind it! 🙂
Thanks!
