I just finished piecing my first butterfly block yesterday, I have not done the embroidery on it yet. All of the pieces fit together very well. I wanted a specific color in a pillow but like the block so much I think I will make more and do a quilt. Thanks for the great block!

I am the proud owner of a butterfly quilt, this pattern, made in the 1930s by my mom when she was 17 years old! The background of the butterfly blocks is mint green. The quilt has pink solid blocks alternating the butterfly blocks. The bodies are black and the wings are authentic 30s fabrics. It is beautifully handquilted. When in her 70s my mom made little quilts for my daughters using this pattern, alternating with Dresden plate blocks made by their other grandma. These are special family heirloom quilts!
