7 cosmos butterflies.

This week I've been working with Laura Gunn's Cosmos collection, making more wonky butterflies.  This quilt isn't exactly right for the season (it feels a little more like spring than fall!) but I thought these prints would be perfect for butterfly wings.

This quilt is a bit of a challenge for me, trying to see how far I can stretch the charm squares!  I'd like to make a good lap size quilt, so I'm probably going to add another border around the outside edges.

After I decided to use the painter's canvas as a border, rather than in between the butterflies, I had a lot of space to fill up!  I opted for low volume gray and white prints rather than just using solids.  It adds a lot more interest than the solid gray would have!  It's a little busy with the butterflies, but it's growing on me.

I'm hoping to finish piecing this top in the next few days!  I kind of like making quilts like this without a real plan, just adding to it as I go along.  We'll see where the rest of the week takes it!

p.s.  It has been so gloomy here this week!  Please excuse the lackluster photos.  Mr. Sun did not want to come out today.
