This pattern was originally going to be two separate block patterns, but the more I thought about it, it just seemed right to put these two beautiful blocks together in the same quilt.

This is a 16 inch block quilt! This is my favorite size blocks. You can make a beautiful large block with out having super tiny pieces.

The pattern comes with directions for a Baby (48 x 48 in), Lap (48 x 64 in), Throw (64 x 80 in), Double (80 x 96 in), Queen (96 x 112 in) and King (112 x 112 in). If you would like to make a Twin size, I’d recommend making the Throw and adding a small border.

This pattern is great for the adventurous beginner to intermediate quilter.

This pattern comes with cutting instructions to make it scrappy/fat quarter friendly or you can making it using 6 main fabrics (3 for the Butterflies and 3 for the Blooms) with a background fabric.

My first quilt I made the baby size using the scrappy/fat quarter friendly directions. I went digging through my fabric bins and found a ton of this Atrium fabric by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit Fabrics. I had made my daughter a twin size quilt using these fabrics and loved them so much, I bought way too much extra.

I was excited to find out I had plenty of these fabrics to make a baby size quilt.

I found a Kona cotton blue that was very close the the blue on the front for my backing fabric. I decided to try a new quilting style. I did organic wavy lines from the top to the bottom using my walking foot. I have been wanting to try this for a while, but was worried it would not turn out how I had envisioned it. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I would definitely try this on another quilt.

Next up, I’m making a throw size quilt using the 6 main fabrics cutting directions. I have been wanting to buy these Mountain Meadows fabrics for a long time and I thought these would be perfect for this quilt.

I hope you love this design as much as I loved making this quilt! I’m so excited to see your versions. Make sure to tag me when you are posting your photos on social media!
