Boxes of Butterflies
Who doesn’t love butterflies? A wonderful sense of movement is created in this delightful throw design by rotating the 12” square blocks.
Get started by gathering up your favorite colorful collection of fat quarters. By following our Sew Easy lesson on Quick Hourglass Units, you’ll be able to quickly assemble the blocks to create the “butterflies.” A simple pieced frame will keep them in their box.
