The others in the set are equally stunning. Very simple and elegant. Most of Emblibrary's designs are extremely dense taking hours to stitch out. I have done a couple where it took 5 hours to do it like this one:

I have no clue what to do with the above stitchout. I just don't think creatively with crafty stuff. I wouldn't know what to do with the butterflies either. I'm such a practical boring person when it comes to stuff and home decorating.
So, what would you do with the above design if you could have it made for you? It's on a cream type Kona fabric and I have 6 different designs done. Or with the butterfly set? Let me know and post it.
I think it's an 8x8 inch design. I was thinking a quilt with the set, but at 5 hours a piece and having to wait for each thread change, it's not practical.
I love the large designs since I can use them on my Topaz but I hate having a pile of designs with nothing to use them for.

Ok....so you don't want an entire quilt....how making a bed throw where it would drape across your bed or sofa, where every....and the part that shows the most are your designs. Perhaps 3 feet wide and how ever long you need/want it to be. I hope that makes sense. Those are too beautiful not to use....you must use them!!! :)

A small wholecloth pillow with the butterfly would be beautiful - and then of course you'd have to make a larger wholecloth with the butterfly in the corners - a floral bouquet in the middle. Stunning.
I'm not very good at the home dec thing... I'd save them as orphan blocks, and eventually put them all together in a sampler quilt, probably with a combination of different sizes of pieced and embroidered blocks. They are definitely too pretty to waste.
Since the design has so many curves I would do a small geometric border around each one - ala Storm at Sea or something like that using colors from the stitch out design. A long table runner would be pretty or a small wall hanging using the blocks you have done. Beautiful block.
