Start by sewing together your strips horizontally in sets of 3. Then, you’ll cut these into blocks that are just as wide as they are tall, making a square.

You’ll need 2.5″ and 1.5″ strips of your background for the rest of your block. You’ll use your background fabric to cover two opposite corners on each block. Pay attention to Jenny’s tips to get the butterfly to be perfect!

Once you add your sashing to make the butterfly, the borders, batting, and backing, you’ll have an incredible quilt that looks like a ton of little butterflies.
