A Butterfly Quilt ~ Progress Report

180 Butterfly Blocks


Admittedly, it was a whole lot more fabric-play, cutting, sewing and pressing than I had anticipated.  A lengthy process but so worthwhile ... cut, cut, cut, sew, sew, sew, repeat, repeat x 180 


I don't mind the repetitive nature of this kind of patchwork piecing, working in batches, selecting and cutting fabric, and then chain piecing 30+ Butterfly blocks at time.  I can be quite a productive and content process worker, especially in wee small hours of the morning.


Fabrics used:
  • 160+ different printed background fabrics from stash and scrap bin
  • a handful of text and number fabrics (see Sunday Stash #148)
  • Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Pepper  (2 yards)

More pictures soon.
