Butterflies And Dragonflies

Some friends of ours are having their third child next month and this weekend is a baby shower. Our gift to them and their baby girl is a blanket that I made for the theme of butterflies, dragonflies, and purple. Since I got my new sewing machine for my birthday this year, I’ve really enjoyed the few projects that I’ve done so far. I hope that I can get into sewing more. Enjoy!

The pinned up quilt. The front is a fleece material w/cute insects of dragonflies, butterflies, ladybugs, snails, flowers, etc. While the back is a lilac colored cotton.
I’ve never made anything with fleece before and was a bit worried about the thickness and stretch of the material, I think I did o.k. for using the material for the first time.

Decorative edging that I used along the outside and to close my pull-through hole.

After getting it completed with the decorative edge and then tying up a few spots along the pink squares…

I had it finished in no time!
(Special Thank you to Sarah for getting me back on track!)
