Ninth Butterfly Still In Progress

All of the components of this butterfly have been crocheted, and now I have the task of sewing them together. By the way, that curled-up little thing in between the two large upper wings is the body and head with antennae.

Even after studying the picture on the pattern page and getting the opinions of my children, asking them to compare these components to the picture of the finished butterflies on the pattern page, none of us were certain which way the lower wings were supposed to go.

In the end, we just decided that one way looked a little better than the other way when shuffling around my components, so I'll go ahead and sew them together the way we all thought it looked best. This butterfly is so curly, though, that it probably won't look its best until it is starched, pinned and dried.
