A Butterfly Fling Layer Cake some white yardage for the background and a Cheap Trick pattern = this cute quilt. :-)I finished the center over a week ago and now I'm waiting for Butterfly Fling yardage so I can add the borders.
Maybe I should title this post "ode to the locals" :-). The Butterfly Fling fabric is designed by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda (Barbara and Mary) and the Cheap Trick pattern is by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co (Carrie Nelson). These ladies are all local designers, I've known all of them for almost 10 years and I'm happy to say that I can call them friends. I like to say I knew them before they were famous. LOL I have a long list of stories I could share about all three but my post would go on and on. Let's just say we've laughed, cried and sewn together. :-)
Thank you for your kind messages asking if I'm ok - all is well - thank you for caring.
I do appreciate that you stop by even though my blog has been boring. LOL Don't give up on my silly little blog - come again and come often!
In Friendship!

I love this pattern. I'm really wanting to make this quilt. Was it hard? I've seen it in several color scene.
OMG I love it, love it, love it...what a fun and happy quilt. You are one lucky girl to be surrounded by such talented gals. You've just added another quilt to my list of To Do's...It's wonderful...and about your blog...it's never boring! We love it! and you! (((HUGS)))
That is one cute quilt!
Wow! What a cute happy colored quilt. I love the block name. Cheap Trick was a favorite band of mine back in my hay days! LOL I will have to check this out. I have several reproduction 30's fabrics that this pattern would do justice to...or even my beloved brights. Cannot wait to see it finished.
What a fun pattern with fun fabrics! Delightful!
Love it...my friend Louise just did a quilt with those fabrics and seeing yours was fun to see...same fabrics but totally different quilts...she made baskets... :o)
I love it!! Happy colours!!
I've always loved the card trick block! Yours is lovely in that pretty fabric.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Cooper will be keeping you on your toes!
never boring, that is a very cute quilt!
I remember the band Cheap Trick from the 70's . . .a great name for a pattern. I love all those colours! It lifts the spirits just looking at it.
Glad to hear you are doing better. I love colors in your quilt. Have a great day!!
You are never boring Darlene. I'm always glad when you just post. This is darling. I can't wait to see more.
Oh I love that! Is Butterfly Fling a new line or an old one? I don't think I've seen it out here anywhere. Your blog has NOT been boring!! It's been nothing but cuteness :) I would never quit reading my Big Sis's blog!!!
That is an awesome quilt! I must find that pattern.
She's a beauty Darlene!
I love your quilt! I was wondering what quilt would be good with that fabric. Hmmm, I may have to get some of this fabric and do this quilt myself, I already have the pattern.
I really enjoy your blog! The quilt is wonderful.. I posted a pic from summer camp that one of the girls was working on and they are awesome in person!
thanks for sharing!
Your blog is never boring. I have been in a boring slump. I sit down to write and what I have to say bores me!!!!! Great quilt.
Beautiful top. I can't wait to see it finished.
Looks wonderful! I love the cheery fabrics, and you picked a great pattern.
That quilt looks adorable! Way cute. ;o) ooxx`jod
Oh is that so cute!
I would love to know where I could get a copy of the chicken sticheries you had in your previous post. I have a dear friend that this would make the perfect gift. vangieh83@hotmail.com
I've only been reading blogs for the past month -- I know, a dinosauar. Your's is one I've got on my "take a peek" list, i.e. NOT BORING!!!
Thanks for the diversion, AND making me feel happy, NOT inferior (No -- I cannot blog, bake, quilt and make my family happy all the live-long day, too much other stuff in my 'ole life).
