The Butterfly Bundle- A Collection of Foundation Paper Pieced Quilt Patterns
This butterfly is my oldest and best selling pattern, but it was beginning to show its age. I have updated the pattern and added all of the extras that you expect of a recent Tartankiwi pattern.
The pattern is the same but better:
There are lots of interchangeable options for the wings
The wings are now symmetrical.
The critical join points are marked on the template.
There is a key and symbols are used to help with fabric placement.
I have added variations on the basic pattern so that you can sew a beautiful kaleidoscope of butterflies.
This pattern bundle contains foundation paper piecing templates for three basic butterflies- the original tartankiwi butterfly, the log cabin butterfly and the simplified butterfly. These patterns come three different sizes (12 inch, 10 inch and 6 inch). The pattern also includes an optional variation to the lower wing shape. The pattern templates are completely interchangeable, so you can create a butterfly with tartankiwi upper wings and log cabin or simplified lower wings or with log cabin upper wings and tartankiwi lower wings- the possibilities are endless
These butterflies can be used individually for small projects such as cushions or bags, or they can be combined to create a beautiful butterfly quilt.
The pattern assumes a knowledge of the foundation paper piecing technique, but includes tips and tricks to help you sew as accurately as possible.
