Butterfly Applique cushion cover .






First things first was to cut out a 12inch square of cream fabric and then decide on the main 
fabric for borders and applique .. 





Cutting out the Applique pieces of a single flowers with butterflies ..

Attaching them with a blanket stitch ..


 After this was complete i made up into the quilt sandwich of wadding and backing fabric.
 Echo stitched around the designs and stitching each separate piece that makes up the
applique , I find this really helps to bring the design forward giving it a 3D effect .


Filling in the back ground with a simple Quilting design which i call
hairbands ..







This borders will remain un quilted and made up with a light moss green fabric for the back of
the cushion cover.. This will measure 18inch square when complete.




Thanks for looking and Happy Quilting .
