Butterfly Garden block

I finished block 3 (out of 9) of "Butterfly Garden".  A soft and romantic quilt by designer Leanne Beasley of Australia.  It's quilt that includes simple patchwork, applique and embroidery.   Each 18 inch big block is made up of nine 6 inch blocks.  

Here's a couple of close-ups of some of the embroidery.
This one is on one of the 6 inch blocks:

And this one is just in that little square in the upper left hand corner of the four patch....so cute:
I bought this as a block of the month a couple of years ago.  Unfortunately I've been a bit crazy buying appliqued block of the months.....currently have 3 going!   And doing bits and pieces on all 3 means I'm not finishing any one of them.  So I'm putting Butterfly Garden away till I finish a different one that I want to finish first.

I love butterfly garden....what you said about it being soft and romantic is so, so true! I think I will someday have to do this one myself....maybe after I've actually FINISHED some of the quilt projects I have going. :-)
Your embroidery is beautiful....I love the little corner dots in the butterfly wings!
