Hope Butterfly
Hope Butterfly
Made in the 1930's style, this quilt incorporates butterflies
appliquéed onto the traditional Snowball block.  During the 30's in
the midst of the Great Depression, the butterfly was frequently
included in quilts to symbolize hope.  The newborn who received
this quilt as a gift is named "Hope", so the explanatory note that
HTH
Celebration Quilts
includes with each finished quilt, included that
information along with other interesting details.

This quilt was machine pieced and quilted.   The newborn's name
and birth date were embroidered by hand (as well as the butterfly
antennae) and each butterfly was hand appliquéed with the blanket
stitch that was so popular in the 30's era.  A flouncy pleated ruffle
was added around the outside for that feminine touch.

Size is 37 inches square.
