VMRooks, I didn't have a pattern, but I used the quilt in the picture as my inspiration. I just watched a a tutorial on how to make a disappearing four patch and found the butterfly motif on Pinterest.

What batting should I use? The quilt turned out to be 98x98, so it will be heavy simply because of the size and the flannel, so I want the lightest weight possible. And because we are in Texas, it needs to be as cool as possible.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I decided on Quilters Dream Orient and ordered it. It should be here Thursday! I'm working on the border now, so hopefully this weekend I can build my sandwich! Pictures soon!
