My Purple Butterflies quilt won the Grand Prize in the 2013 Quilt & Needle Paint Chip Challenge!
Back in January, I joined the
Q&N Paint Chip Challenge --- my paint chip color was a red-violet. I decided to use the Tessellating Star pattern, and wrote up
instructions in this post. After I finished the patchwork, I appliqued LOTS of butterflies onto the quilt top, then machine quilted it using a combination of echoing, flowers, pebbles and other fill patterns in a diagonal direction.
When the quilt was completed, I
posted it here and sent pictures in and I won the Grand Prize! I won a $50 gift certificate from
The Quilt & Needle.
This was officially my 100th quilt, so was special to me, even before I won!
