October One Monthly Goal ~ Butterfly Mini Quilt

I'm sliding in at the last minute to declare my October One Monthly Goal, a mini swap quilt made from butterfly blocks.  One Monthly Goal is hosted by Patty at Elm Street Quilts.

I've made two blocks and need twenty two more for the layout I have in mind.


I've always admired the butterfly quilt made by Rita from Red Pepper Quilts.   She has a butterfly block tutorial here for traditionally piecing the blocks.  I decided to draft paper foundations for a similar butterfly so they could be paper pieced.


And here are the fabrics I'll be using minus the pearl bracelets.


I better get busy, there are more butterflies to take flight!

You can see the other goal declarations in the October One Monthly Goal linkup at Elm Street Quilts.

    I love these butterfly blocks! I've always thought the tutorial seemed a little tricky so it paper-piecing is a great solution.

      P.S. after seeing the tutorial from Rita...paper piecing is the way to go! You are so smart!

    Those butterflies are just going to fly away! The quilt will be very cheerful with the fabrics you have chosen.

    It’s a great idea to paper piece the butterflies, I think even I could manage an accurate block! You have a beautiful array of fabrics, good luck with your goal.

    Good for you to participate! A couple other friends are too. But goal-setting isn't my style. If I decide to do something like that, I make myself crazy making sure I make that commitment... and doing that isn't fun! I keep a mental list of to-dos, and that works best for me. Hope you enjoy doing this! FPP is certainly a fun way to make blocks.
