I have started working on the STEPS for this project and I want to remind you that you can choose any color combination. I picked the 1930's fabrics but you can pick any combos of colors. I had one gal, in the past, that use a black background and bright bold colors for the wings. Let your imagination build your BUTTERFLIES!

I am a machine quilter. Would it be possible to participate but use my sewing Machine to applique instead of hand sew?
