    Oh that is absolutely gorgeous. I dearly love butterflies, but don't like paper piecing, so this is not in my future. But it is about the most fabulous butterfly quilt I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

    Lots of butterflies is right! I like how you interspersed the pieced butterfly blocks with some fabulous butterfly fabric.

    Belfrybat I do a lot by finding a picture I like and coming up with a pattern. I did not know this was "suppose" to be paper pieced so I came up with a pattern that didn't require paper piecing. I did not like the ones that had the body pieced (looked to chunky to me) so I made them without the body and appliqued a cutout on top. It was one of the simpler blocks I've done.

    Thank you for the explanation of how you made the butterflies. I couldn't tell from the original picture whether they were pieced or not. This quilt came out really lovely, well worth the time to find and modify the design and select the fabrics.
