Challenge #41


Here's my entry for challenge #41. Its a butterfly, fractured or broken apart, done in primary colors & quilted in a butterfly design. I may have made the fractures too far apart. My inspiration for this piece is a crayon picture my granddaughter made at school & brought home.

what a cheerful little butterfly! It kind of reminds me of a mosaic tile. The butterfly quilting is perfect for this piece.

He does indeed look very mosaicly fractured. Good colors for your subject and the quilting fits, too.

Charming, indeed!
Children are so free and their drawings/colorings so 'honest'. I am glad to see this one.

Great way to use your grandaughters art work. What if you had fractured the background a bit more? It is a lovely piece.
The red binding is perfect.

Oh so cute! Wouldn't it be a great idea to "save" all you little ones art by creating quilts from them? Imagine what a stunning wall collage it could be! Hmmm...

Hi Cathy, I think it's very sweet and it fits the challenge in a mosaic type way. Good job!
