A few days ago Quilt Digest posted a free pattern for 3 different 5" paper pieced butterfly blocks. They were so cute that I downloaded the free pattern immediately.
Well . . . this morning I decided I wanted to do some HAPPY sewing, and grabbed that pattern. I found lots of pretty pinks and purples in the scrap bins and went to work. Once the actual butterfly section was pieced I picked out the paper foundation pieces and added a couple of borders thinking this would make a cute spring mug rug. That's when I realized that the extra purple edges on the upper wings were supposed to be white background - not elongated wings.
Oh well, it may still become a mug rug. Or . . . I could take it apart and FIX it, right?
I planned to sew most of the day today because I don't have to work. I'm trying to clear out some "in progress" tasks so I can work on something new. I also got 25 of the 44 little 4-patch blocks made. Sigh . . . only 19 more to go. And I sewed the binding onto a small UFO project so it's ready for hand stitching. And then I kitted up 3 Quilt of Valor blocks to sew later.
I was on a roll, until a delivery guy called to say he couldn't find our "business". His problem was he was looking for a business place and not a house - which is where my husband's business runs. So I went upstairs to wait for the delivery. And here's where it gets weird. My husband ordered 2 identical office floor mats from Staples on Monday. A semi truck delivered ONE of the mats and UPS showed up a half hour later to deliver the other one. How inefficient is that? And they came from the SAME place according to the shipping labels.

Take it apart--you must be kidding me hahaha;)))..I wouldn't...it looks like shadows underneath the wings...and matches those bottom ones, too.
I think it looks just lovely..

The butterfly looks great - I didn’t see anything wrong with it and had to look again. It’s a beautiful block, so my vote is leave it.
I would leave as it is too, unless it really bugs you of course. We all need pretty butterflies to lift our spirits these days.
Fix it if it bugs you:) I rather like it!
