WIP-it Wednesday...

...almost forgot to post!

Yesterday I mentioned how I got around some appliqué issues using fusible interfacing and fusible bonding web. Here's the butterfly block where I added two butterflies using fusible bonding web.

The fabric that I chose for this block has a blue sky and clouds background with butterflies interspersed. It really didn't have the butterflies I wanted. I had another butterfly fabric that had the butterflies I wanted, but I didn't like the background. So I took the butterflies I wanted from one fabric and added them to the blue sky fabric - they are the side-facing monarch butterfly and the front-facing swallowtail butterfly in the block. When I do the machine-quilting, I will quilt over the edges of the butterflies to make sure they stick.
