Welcome from South Louisiana. I love butterflies. My stash of butterfly fabrics is on the back burner just waiting to become a quilt.

I found a pattern where the blocks are set kinda topsy turvy (I thought this would add motion to the butterflies). I'm sure there's a name for them, but the name escapes me at the moment. I thought I'd fussy cut the butterflies and use fabrics of colors of the butterfles to do the sashings around each butterfly. Got that?
