Wildflower Wings Free Quilt Pattern by Lisa DeBee Schiller quilt pattern summary
- Print the butterfly template at 100 percent. Prepare freezer-paper wing and body templates, apply them to the fabric and cut with the specified allowance.
- Center the wings and then the body on each background rectangle and appliqué them. Trim each butterfly block to 5.5 by 7.5 inches and make 18 blocks.
- Join three butterfly blocks into each of six rows, then sew the rows together. Add the two inner borders followed by the outer border.
- Embroider the butterfly antennae using a decorative stitch. Layer, baste and quilt the top, then bind with the L strips.
