QUILTING NOTES

Make sure to quilt along the edge of the butterfly to make it come forward. The butterfly will also be more dimensional if you quilt it less heavily than you quilt the background. Try stitching simple lines along the black portions of the butterfly’s wings and body. I also quilted along most of the lines I had thread sketched in the blue sky and green leaf backgrounds.

8. Finish your piece with a traditional binding or a facing.

THREAD-SKETCHING NOTES

Make sure to go over each piece, stitching it down along the perimeter. Follow the thread-sketching lines to add the proboscis.

I used a flame motif to heavily thread sketch the wings and added a white netting effect around the circles on the wings. To create the hazy look of the legs and antenna on the far side of the butterfly, I thread sketched in a grid pattern on top of them. Don’t forget to add the leg hairs using thread!

In the blue sky and green leaf backgrounds, I stitched following some of the patterns in the hand-dyed fabric.
