Our friend, Felicia Brenoe, of Felicia's World, wrote a lovely book called the Quiltmaker's Butterfly Forest.
The idea for the book was realized on a trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Felicia was inspired by all of the beautiful butterflies which made their way to the pages of her book.
Butterflies Rising (pictured below) was created using black and bright white Cotton Couture- it's gorgeous in its stark contrast.. like the shadows of butterflies in flight.

Oh my, I'd love to make my own Butterflies Rising quilt! My favorite color is:
SC5333-COFL-D. This is just gorgeous!
My favorite color is SC5333-PLUM-D.
It's very hard to choose a favorite. SC5333-LILY-D is my current favorite (although that could change the next time I look at them!)
Since I can only choose one, it would be the SC5333-WATE-D, a beautiful red! Always love the look and feel of the Michael Miller fabrics! Keep up the beautiful work.
