This was the last project in the Little Handfuls of Scraps book that Stacia, Deloise and I worked on each month for the past couple of years. I finished it at the Guild’s January retreat this year, well behind Stacia and Deloise.

I originally intended to use straight lines down and across (maybe with my serpentine stitch) but everyone thought I should blanket stitch the butterflies. I was afraid to start that but once I got going it went quite quickly and I was pleased with the results. I used the serpentine stitch to outline each of the blocks.

I fully intended to pass the book along when I finished this last project but in the meantime I’ve used some of the patterns, or pieces of the patterns, for other projects so I think I’ll hang on to it.
