Flutterby Quilt Block Free Pattern ~ DIY Tutorial Ideas!

My Flutterby block is foundation paper pieced and sews up quickly with just three simple sections. The pattern includes the butterfly as shown and reversed so your butterfly can head East or West!

Fabric Choices

I wanted to use an unexpected mix of fabrics on my block, with a variety of prints and textures, and am so in love with the result! I started with the focal floral print which is Liberty of London lawn. Many people do not think about using lawn when quilting, but it's quite dreamy, especially when paper piecing because it is lightweight.

The pink stripe fabric is a woven from Loominous by Anna Maria Horner Dotted Line Coral. The stripes are raised and add such a lovely textural element. The remaining prints are quilting cotton from different designers – Indah Batiks Herringbone Coffee, Dear Stella Trail Mix Feathers in Mustard, Dear Stella Honey Bee Scallop and Cotton + Steel Ombre Pigment in aqua.
