Butterfly Collage

This is an old quilt; but I love it (still).

I made this quilt top on a class given by Susan Carlson sometime around 2013-ish. I did not write the date.

It is my only collage quilt using tacky glue and not a stabilizer like Steem a Seam. It is a pattern provided by Susan; but the fabrics are my own.  My quilt is 23 inches by 31 inches. All fabrics are batiks.

I have not made another quilt like this. I am too compulsive and I still get out the glue and fix some of the raw edges from time to time. It is a great method; but I do prefer the stabilizer to "glue" the pieces down.

Susan recommends to use tulle on top of the collage to help with quilting and also to keep the pieces glued; but I did not use tulle. I considered using it for a long time; but in the end I decided against it. It is another great  texture to be added for sure; but I like it as is.

Homeward Bound Quilt Month 4 Done

I have finished appliqueing the large flowers that were part of the month 4 installment for this BOM. 

It was not an easy thing to do. The petals do not fit well in the space allocated to them. 

It took some rearranging and in the end, I feel that I just made it fit because I was tired of adjusting them. It was like to insert a square peg in a very round opening.

This is my leisure time, I don't need to stress over it. I hope the next parts will fit better.
