Butterfly Quilt Finish

The Butterfly Quilt is all quilted and bound! Thank you to Tula Pink for letting me test her pattern, Thomas Knauer for designing my text background fabric for me, and Lisa Sipes for her earth-shattering longarming skills! This quilt is a 5th birthday present for my daughter.

Quilt Stats
Pattern: Tula Pink ‘Butterfly’ quilt pattern, available August 2013 as a printed pattern
Size: 88″ x 94″
Fabrics: 5-2/3 yards of purple and pink solids (mostly Cotton Couture, but some Kona too)
     Michael Miller Cotton Couture can be found at Fat Quarter ShopPink Castle Fabrics, Stash Modern Fabric
Background fabrics: text fabric in 2 different sizes; I wrote a letter to my daughter, and my friend Thomas made the file repeat-friendly, and I had it printed on Spoonflower.
Backing: white cotton sateen, recommended by Lisa to best show off the quilting
Batting: Pellon polyester batting
Piecing: I used Aurifil 50wt white thread to piece the blocks
