Prototypes

When Virginia and Mike gave us their exciting new last week about a new baby girl arriving in October, I immediately  thought, "what kind of quilt will I make for her?"  I have since spent a lot of time on Pinterest trying to get inspiration.  

At first, I was really drawn to this Urban Cabin pattern. 

I didn't like how wide the white was on my first prototype.  I ended up enlarging the picture so I could take some actual measurements instead of guessing.  Because why would I pay to buy the pattern. 

The second prototype turned out better.

But I kept looking for more ideas and came upon this...

After seeing the butterflies I thought, "this is it, in memory of Mama.”                          

 It is much more difficult than the Urban Cabin but I think it will be worth it.  I like how the butterfly can be all the same fabric or a mixture on two or three different ones. Now let’s get to work.
