The challenge is due at our September meeting. Mine is really now because I never leave anything to the last minute.
For the quilt top, I used 6 Cookies & Cream 40 Karat Gems charm packs from Wilmington Fabrics. I like that half the squares are white and half are cream. They all have a subtle white on white print.
I grabbed a handful of my favorite colorful scraps and make an odd shaped triangle on one corner of each charm. When I laid them out my only concerns were alternating the white and cream square and having the triangles touch. I didn't care if they co-ordinated, I just wanted a butterfly-ish shape.
For the quilt back I had some gray Lizzie House that didn't get used in another project, so I used it here. The binding is one of my favorite blues, Kona Windsor. I always keep it on hand and I just reordered it.
The quilt measures 54' square.
May your bobbins always be full,
Such a cheerful quilt! I really like this effect. I has good energy. I've seen a variation in which there are triangles on opposing corners of the square, and to me that quilt looked too busy. Your quilt is just right--the butterfly effect is evident and there is plenty of open space.
