I have kept thinking that there had to be a way to incorporate machine embroidery in quilt making. Rather than spend hours putting little pieces of cloth together in order to make squares. Instead, I should be able to spend hours changing threads on the sewing machine in order to embroider on a square.
Ok, it made more sense when I first started thinking about it.

7/9 squares complete
and, of course, the three butterfly ballerinas. I wish I could say that the last two butterflies went as smoothly as the rest of the squares, but no. Which is why they aren’t yet completed.
