Butterfly Swirl Free Quilt Pattern by Joanie Holton & Melanie Greseth
Butterfly Swirl frames large black-and-pink floral squares with small pieced strips made from tiger, stripe and cheetah prints. Pink-and-black tiger strips separate the blocks, with four-patch units at the sashing intersections. A narrow lime cheetah border and a wider black-and-white butterfly border surround the center. The 63 by 79 inch quilt uses Butterfly Swirl fabrics, and black-and-white striped binding carries the contrasting prints through to the edges.
