Scrappy Butterfly Baby Quilt

Pattern/Tutorial/Images: Connie Kresin

Finished size is 30″ x 42″

Fabric Requirements:

• ½ yard cream or assorted neutral scraps for background blocks
• Scraps in assorted bright batiks for butterflies and squares
• Scraps in assorted bright batiks for the 2 ½ inch squares
• ⅛ yard brown for antennas
• ⅓ yard for binding in a med dark
• 1 yd backing and batting

If you have a scrap drawer….now is the time to use your 2 ½” squares!

Cutting the blocks:

1. Cut 162 – 2 ½″ squares in assorted bright batiks.
2. Using a ¼″ seam allowance join the 2 ½″ blocks into 9 patch blocks. Each 9 patch block will measure 6 ½″ square.
3. Make 18 – 9 patch blocks – join together as shown.

Cut 17 – 6 ½” squares from Cream or assorted neutrals for the butterfly background blocks.

Applique:

AccuQuilt has a butterfly die – GO! Serendipity Specialty Set by Edyta Sitar that is what I used for my baby quilt. I also have a template in my PDF if you don’t have the die.

NOTE: Apply fusible web to the wrong side of the fabrics following the manufacturer’s instructions before cutting appliqué shapes.

• Cut 17 – butterflies in assorted colors – template below.
• Cut 17 – antennas from Brown

Use your favorite method of applique to apply each butterfly to the 6 ½″ cream blocks. I used invisible thread for the free motion applique on the butterflies.

The antennas could be embroidered on but I used a fabric pen – fast and easy!

Sew the blocks together into 7 rows of 5 blocks, then join the rows.

Layer your backing, batting and top and quilt as desired.

Cut your binding fabric into 4 – 2 ½″ strips, join together and bind your quilt. Look at my tutorial on attaching the binding by machine.

I did a stipple quilt pattern on the butterfly blocks and a wiggle diagonal line through the 9 patch blocks.

Here is a closeup showing the quilting and the antennas.

I have received several emails and photos from quilters who have made this butterfly baby quilt if you make one I would love to see it!
