Island Batik March Mini Madness Challenge

 This is a paper pieced pattern called Take Wing by Lilyella Stitchery. I just loved it when I saw it. I do have to admit it was a bit of a challenge. I ended up taking it out multiple times. It took about an hour to do each section not including the ripping time and resewing. I think the most tedious part of the process is tearing the paper off the back as you can see it had lots of little pieces of paper when I got done. The Island Batik fabrics made a striking butterfly. I was beginning to hate it but now that it is done I love it. 

 A couple of weeks ago the first picture was my walk to work. Now the second is my walk to work. What a difference from the beginning of the month. Probably one of the few sunshiny days we have had. It has been rainy so much I think we are going to float away down river.
