This beautiful butterfly throw quilt is full of vibrant color and bright, happy vibes. Perfect for spring and summer decor with some large scale florals, coral pinks, sunshine yellows, royal blues, and pretty spring greens. The coordinating fabrics are all cotton. I used a mottled pink batik fabric for the backing, and that is pieced with two big floral pink squares. This adds a little interest to the back.
The quilt is square in size and measures about 73 inches x 73 inches (185 cm square).
Wonderful on a sofa, as a picnic blanket, and on a twin bed. Quilts are lovely handmade additions to a home and will last many years with normal use and care.
This item ships with tracking and insurance.

Features
Features
I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
