Good morning! Let's celebrate together!
My original block is selected for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine vol. 11!
Today is my turn to share my block design from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 11!
"Lovely Butterfly" block #1071 on page 48. Please visit Quiltmaker's blog to see other designer's designs.
The technique to make this block is quite simple. They are all square and rectangles. NO triangles!!! I used the stitch and flip technique so anyone can make this block. It will be perfect for the little girl.
Here is a couple of example of the quilt design using this block.
I hope you will have fun making this block!
Happy quilting.
