To Make Up Spring Blanket or Cushion

I stitched the wings of the butterflies together before attaching them to the blanket then stitched them to the blanket up the middle of the butterfly.  I then stitched the antenna down.  For the cushion, I had the butterflies facing outward and stitched butterflies around the edging and 1 in the centre but for the blanket I had my butterflies facing towards the centre and only added them to the joins of the granny squares.  For my middle row of joins I stitched 1 butterfly facing 1 way and the next the other way.
