Blue Morpho Butterflies – All sizes

Description

Blue morphos live in the tropical forests of Latin America from Mexico to Colombia. They have a characteristic vivid blue color and shiny wings that reflect the light, making them easy to spot amidst the jungle canopy. Blue morphos are visible to pilots flying over the rainforest. They are one of the largest butterflies in the world, measuring around six inches long and with wing spans of up to 8 inches.

I digitized this for a client who wanted one to put on a mola quilt she was making for a client.

All the clear details along the outside edge of the wings is possible by the long jump stitches I added between each white and brown detail that allows you an easy way to clip clean the jumps between them.
