Midnight butterfly

Standard

So I said I wasn’t going to make any quilts anymore, because lack of space. But then you open up your fabric closet and all those fabrics are looking at you and yeah, I just couldn’t resist. I went trough my stash and found this wonderful butterfly fabric with some gold in there. I had the matching fabrics that I used for the smaller squares. It has metallic threads weaves in there. Basically I had all fabrics except for the border and the backing. The border took some auditioning at the fabric store, but the backing was an easy find. Little more costly then I normally would use for the back, but I just had to have it.
I used the pattern glacier moon from Hoffman fabric as my base to work from. I did change it up a little.

And the backing.

For now it is on my quilt pile that is growing rapidly, until I figure out what I want to do with it.
