Another Tiny Thursday
Well, it's done.
TT Monarch Butterfly
Mine came out 1/4" too short -- I wondered why the body part was too long! I think the lower wing pieces need to be cut 2.5" x 2.75" and we need 4 of both background squares.
So my proportions don't look as nice as Angela's but it's cute and sweet and I can adjust the final size with the sashing. I usually make two of each TT block, so I may try another one ...
I have that orange-y fabric, too....I love how you used it for the butterfly--perfect choice...when I try to follow a pattern I always end up messing it up... you're not alone--and your butterfly looks just lovely... Hugs, Julierose
Comments make me smile; I would love to hear from you! I respond almost exclusively by email, so be sure you are not a "no-reply" blogger. Or include your email address if you need an answer to a question.

That fabric looks familiar to me, too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks good, Libby! Mine also came out 1/4 inch short, so I just made my sashing a bit wider. :) We know how to make things work, don't we?!
