September is here, and in the United States, it is Labor Day, a national holiday. I have taken a holiday from quilting this week, and have no progress to show you on my quilts. So here is a doll quilt that will be in keeping with my subject today. Butterflies!
This butterfly doll quilt is 10.5 in. by 11.5 in, and was a gift to me in 2003, by my friend Dee.

The butterflies are machine blanket stitched down.
I'll post about the beautiful "Monarch nursery" we have here. The milkweed plants are just off the front porch, where the caterpillars eat until they are fat.
Then then crawl up on the porch and form a chrysalysis which hangs from the ceiling. We have 8 monarch chrysalises still hanging there, and 5 empty ones where the Monarch butterflies have emerged and flown away. Here is one who has just emerged after his wonderous transformation:
What is on your design wall this week? I'm looking forward to reading your posts and seeing your pictures. Please put a link within your post that links back to this particular blog post.
