Another butterfly block

Here's my fourth block for the butterfly|moth wall hanging. It's my interpretation of the Paradise Birdwing Butterfly. Tried my hand at reverse applique on this block - not easy to do - but am learning so much applique as I sew.

In nature, this distinctive butterfly is rare and found in the most remote parts of New Guinea, where it lives in the canopies of the forest.


The real Paradise Birdwing butterfly. Found an image of this butterfly (below) on godofinsects.com.
