3 Paper Pieced Butterfly Quilt Block Patterns

February 7, 2021 by Claudia Porter

With three beautiful butterfly designs to choose from, these paper pieced patterns from Lillyella, would make a stunning quilt.

Each butterfly has its own character and is exquisitely pieced, with numerous sections that need to be completed.  You do need to know how to do this method as the designs are not well suited for a beginner who is just learning paper piecing.

The downloadable pattern has all three designs and includes detailed instructions.  It even has a coloring page so you can audition various color combinations.  When finished each block measures 5 1/2″ square.

With these patterns you can make an entire quilt garden full of butterflies.  You could also make one and use it as an accent block in a different pattern.

No matter how you use the blocks, these butterflies are gorgeous.  An added perk is that they are perfect for scrap busting, especially for all of those smaller scraps some of us (I’m definitely guilty of this) can’t bear to throw out.

Start making your very own butterflies today.

Smart Shopping for Quilters – Monday Precut Fabric Sales

Let’s be honest — quilting is a joy, but it can also be an investment. Fabric costs have crept up over the years, and many of us want to stretch our quilting budget as far as possible without compromising on quality or creativity. That’s why I love Fat Quarter Shop’s Precuts of the Week Monday sale. It’s smart shopping at its finest.

Each Monday, a single precut is offered at a special price. It might be a seasonal collection, a bestselling designer, or a new release you’ve been eyeing. Precuts are already efficient — coordinated, pre-cut, and ready to sew — and a discount on top of that makes them even more appealing.

If you’re looking for smart, budget-friendly quilt inspiration, these CraftGossip resources are must-reads:

  • Scrap-friendly quilts
  • Fat quarter quilt patterns

What I appreciate most about precut deals is that they eliminate the overwhelm. Instead of comparing dozens of bundles, you get one curated offer to consider. It takes the hesitation out of buying and makes it easier to build your stash intentionally.

It’s also a fantastic way to shop ahead for holiday sewing, baby quilts, hostess gifts, and charity projects. Precuts lend themselves beautifully to fast, reliable patterns — especially strip quilts and charm square designs. If you need inspiration, this list is a great jumping-off point:

  • Beginner-friendly quilt ideas

If you enjoy stretching your quilting dollars while still working with high-quality fabrics, add the Monday Precut sale to your routine. It’s a little moment of joy and practicality rolled into one.

Shop smart this Monday
