Project 89 - Butterfly Garden 

Butterfly Garden
for Mom
June 2012

Took this off the frame last evening and then finished the binding this morning for mom. Look closely -- one of the blocks is turned the wrong way! But by the time I found it, I didn't want to pull everything out. I'm a bit lazy like that sometimes. Mom and I are okay with it. I'll just pretend to be an Islamic rug weaver. They always weave a mistake in so that Allah won't think they are trying to imitate His perfection. 


I've heard that the Amish do a deliberate mis-stitch in each quilt as well. I don't have to make deliberate mistakes; they just come naturally!!! But I've taken the "process pledge" with a number of other online quilters. We are determined to get as much enjoyment from the process as from the product!  It's also our goal to share the frustrations and the blessings of the process.  Too many times people just show their beautiful finished project and people think they could "never do something like that" because they haven't been privy to the trial and error that took place while the project was under construction.  Here's to the process!
