Shabby Fabrics 2015 Blogger Challenge! and a Giveaway!

Today I'm sharing a mini quilt I made for the Shabby Fabrics 2015 Blogger Challenge! I got to choose a couple of my favorite packs of Shabby Fabrics Shabby Shapes for the quilt. Shabby Shapes are pre-fused laser cut applique shapes. All you have to do is peel the paper from the back of the shape and then iron it onto the surface of any fabric or material.

I chose a medium size Butterfly set with printed fabric. They are about 3 inches in size.

I also chose the small size Tulip Set with pin dot. They are about 2". To make the quilt I divided my tulip set in half and placed them onto each side of the lower half of the quilt, leaving space between the flowers for a couple of butterflies. I tried to make the butterflies look like they were flying out and up. It reminded me of freedom and lightheartedness that I feel coming out of a long dreary winter. It just looks like Spring to me!

I fused the pieces into place and then stitched around each piece one time using free-motion applique. I stipple quilted it adding a little loop-De-loop here and there. The binding is a pretty pink Flower Sugar print by Lecien. My daughter claimed this quilt in a snap! Which always makes me happy when one of my kids really loves something I make. I think it's just adorable and it was a really fun and quick project.
