Island Batik Ambassador/Island Butterfly Quilt


I'm happy to announce that I am once again an Ambassador for Island Batik!  It has been wonderful to work with and promote these fabrics for the past two years.  This year the Ambassador program has grown to 28 wonderfully creative women.  There is a full calendar of things planned for this year, so stay tuned for lots of exciting creativity with beautiful Island Batik fabrics!

I thought this would be a good time to share with you the Island Butterfly quilt I finished this winter. I used the mini butterfly template from Edyta Sitar for the butterfly blocks.  All the fabrics are Island Batiks that I used the first year I was an Ambassador in 2014.  I wanted a quilt to showcase all the beautiful fabrics and this worked wonderfully.  Each butterfly has two different fabrics and many of the bodies are different fabrics.  Then I used extra strips in the borders.  This was a great project for winter - a breath of spring!
