Another row of butterfly hexagons has been added and almost all the stars necessary for the next row are ready to add. I love how this looks, but am looking forward to it being done. I’m hoping to add just one more row of stars and another of the hexagon butterflies, then the final row of stars and hopefully the piecing is done other than the setting pieces around the outside.
It was very cold all weekend with wind chill values of -25C or so. Funny how it seemed so unbearably cold after a few days of warmer temperatures. I think it’s time for winter to leave and some spring temperatures to start!
The cats, though, didn’t care. They had spots to curl up and stay warm. Smudge in a kitty bed. I think he has his nose tucked in between his front paws to keep it warm.
And Lester in the chair. Even he wasn’t hanging around on the windowsill this weekend. Too cold for him!


Your Butterfly Stars quilt is lookin’ good!! I love the 3D effect of the stars, when I enlarged the picture it took a moment for my eyes to see the stars instead of the cubes LOL.I too wish it would warm up. Was only 1 degree, here in ND, when I was going to walk 3 blocks to a benefit breakfast at the church, turned around and got the car instead, the wind chill was well below 0 LOL.

I love your quilt and I can’t believe how fast it is coming together. Fabulous job, Cathi!I guess even though the two furboys have loads of fur, that’s still not enough for the brutal weather that you have there, huh? Try to stay warm.Aloha!

This is such a sweet quilt. I love the 1930’s fabrics. Good luck with getting it finished soon. It will certainly be worth the time and effort.Christine
