DeleteSuch a beautiful quilt, made in memory of your beloved sister Flaming Amy. Which reminds me, I've got some butterfly blocks lurking about somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you kindly, Jenny. I am excited to have this quilt completed. Oh, I do hope you find your butterfly blocks. I would love to see them.Have a blessed weekend. Hugs.
DeleteFlaming butterflies is very pretty, love the blue chain, the two blocks compliment each other very well. Amy would be thrilled, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAaaaw thank you so much, Gretchen. The colors on this quilt seem to come together so easily. I am struggling a bit with the new butterfly quilt, but I am sure it will all come together. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa, Flaming Butterflies is a gorgeous finish! I've always loved those butterfly blocks and the in between blocks that create the chain, plus all that pretty color. Now your quilting finishes it perfectly! Amy is definitely smiling at that beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Diann. I have really enjoyed working on this quilt. I think my sis would be thrilled to have this quilt in her memory. I can just imagine her big smile. I wish you a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa!!! Flaming Butterflies is amazing and gorgeous. Great way to honor Amy. I'm certain her wings were fluttering like crazy when she saw your finish. Happy Friday!!! Darlene J
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much , dear Darlene. I am thrilled to pieces with how it came out. To me it is a happy quilt which reminds me so much of my sweet sis. I hope you had a fabulous day and are ready for an awesome weekend. Hugs.
DeleteCongrats on the finish! It's a gorgeous quilt with its beautiful colors and the hand quilting makes it even more beautiful and special.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Astrid. It was such a joy to work on this quilt. I am very anxious to move the new butterfly blocks along so perhaps I will be able to have it pieced by the end of the year. I wish you a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteWahoo! A wonderful finish! It looks just wonderful. The chain effect in the Whatchamacallit blocks really worked great with it and I love the cable pattern in the outer border. That is a a very fitting nickname from the way you describe your sis - Flaming Amy. And now another butterfly quilt? How many of those butterfly blocks did you get out thrifting?! Edna looks like she is headed for a dip in the pond.
ReplyDeleteI am jumping for joy on this finish, Ginny. It seemed to come together so easily and quilted up faster than what I imagined.Oh Ginny, you would not believe the amount of butterfly blocks that was in the package- hundreds. I cannot imagine why anyone would cut out so many. LOL. I will be making butterfly blocks for years. Oh yes, Edna is a stinker. She is ready for a dip. LOL. Thank you for the sweet Friday visit. Hope you had a fabulous day. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa- A beautiful finish to honor the memory of your dear sister ❤️
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Cheryl. I am overjoyed that I finished it so quickly. It brings back lots of warm memories of her and her "spitfire ways". LOL. Have a blessed and beautiful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa I know this quilt means so much to you, and it is a stunningly beautiful tribute to your dear sister. I'm so happy you are starting another one! You need to build a butterfly quilt room on to your house to house these beauties!
ReplyDeleteA butterfly quilt room would be fabulous! I would decorate it with my sister's treasures and these quilts. I sure wish I could add a room like this on to our house. This quilt came together so easily. Right now I have it in the living room so I can look at it for awhile. Lots of warm memories of my sis running around in this quilt. Thank you for bringing a warm smile to my day. Hugs.
DeleteHearty congratulations on finishing this memorial quilt for your beloved sister, Amy. It is such a beautiful memory quilt to be cherished. Wrapping up in it can only bring back fond memories for you....
ReplyDeleteLovely work on this one--hugs, Julierose
Oh it does bring back so many memories of Amo, Julierose , especially when she was a young child. It breaks my heart that she is gone, but wrapped in this quilt brings me so much comfort. Thank you for the kind words and sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteFlaming Butterflies is gorgeous, Melisa! Well done!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Robin. I am very proud to have it finished so I can wrap up in it. Lots of memories in this quilt. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteCongrats on a very pretty finish. It's a very fun quilt. I wondered why you used red for the background. Makes total sense now.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Kate. This quilt came so easy to me when I started to think of her nickname. The red fabric was perfect. I think she would get a kick out of it and Papa would too. Hugs and Blessings
DeleteFlaming Butterflies is amazing and gorgeous, Dear Melisa!
