Another charity quilt made from pre-cut squares my sister bought and then passed on to me.
Since there were butterflies all over the top, I changed my plans for quilting it in some abstract, free-motion way, and did some free-motion, very organic butterflies for the quilting.
The batting is that overly puffy poly batting that was given to me and because of its loft, was extremely hard to work with. It required free-motion quilting from the front of the machine so I could help guide the fabric (keep it from shifting as I sewed). Even with all my efforts to the contrary, it was impossible to entirely prevent some tucks while quilting, thanks to the batting. I'm glad this is my last quilt with this stuff. I'm grateful for the gift of the batting, but I would never buy it, and I learned a lot using it.
The back is like a whole different quilt with Cinderella fabric. I guess which is the front and which is the back of the quilt is purely up to the recipient of this quilt.
