FMQ Friday on Saturday

I'm very slowly working on quilting a charity quilt instead of having it tied.  This one called out for quilting a motif in the center squares.  After going through my books, I picked a butterfly designed by Mary Covey.  Here's the flimsy I'm working on:

The first square

and a closeup

I traced the pattern onto freezer paper and then cut around it.  I ironed it to the square and then sewed around it.  I used a free motion foot (aka darning foot - open).  I'm going to use a different color thread for each butterfly.

I'm linking to Leah's FMQ Friday.  Don't miss it.  Happy quilting!
