Butterflies and Buttons Art Quilt
Who doesn’t love butterflies? Butterflies are sure to make anyone smile! The flower-shaped buttons that surround the appliqued butterflies add to the fun and whimsy of this wall hanging. This quilt provides the opportunity for even the youngest child to experience quality art and gain an appreciation for the time and skills that it takes to create the art. This wall hanging is truly a work of art! It is unique and one-of-a-kind. When you place the wall hanging in your home, it is sure to become a conversation piece. This mini quilt celebrates the art of traditional quilting but has a more contemporary feel.
The background fabric of the wall quilt is a bright pink with a subtle flower design. Quilting on the background is a looped stitch that represents the free flight of the butterflies. Two butterflies are appliqued on the background with a machine “blanket stitch.” Hand-embroidered stitching provide the illusion that the butterflies are in mid-flight. Bright flower-shaped buttons, of various sizes, surround the butterflies and add whimsy to the quilt. Bright green rick rack lines the top of the wall quilt.
I have invested many hours of love into this piece of art. As you hang this up, I am certain that the love will be reflected in even the tiniest detail. It will become a treasured piece of art for years to come.
