Found in my cedar chest is a favorite treasured quilt of mine that my grandma had made many years ago. It is a handmade collection of thirty-five blocks of butterflies....
It's fun to look up close at many of the blocks as now many of those fabrics would be considered vintage! And it's fun to look at brightly colored butterflies as spring is arriving! :-)
I hope you enjoyed this peek at my favorite quilt!Blessings,

Wonderful butterfly quilt...thank you for sharing this lovely family heirloom!
I love it. Those little bits of wonderful fabrics are the best.
Butterfly quilts are my favorite--and there are so many shapes of butterflies. It's always interesting to see another one. I also love to look at the needlework embellishments on them. I love the little x's on these. Oh, and I have a vintage piece of the red fabric in the last butterfly!
This is just lovely. I am a real fan of vintage quilts and their fabrics. This is a treasure.
Beautiful! Family treasures mean the most to me too! Thanks for sharing it with us! I also really enjoyed your moms comment! :) Sounds like my family! Made me laugh! Have a great day!
