Dance of the Butterflies Pattern

The Dance of the Butterflies Pattern was designed by Pauline Rogers, and is a Quilt As You Go quilt. Once finished it measures 45″ x 45″ or 1.14m x 1.14m.

Constructed in panels, you quilt the background first, then appliqué and join the quilt together. All of the black trim around the fans are made using the 1/4″ Sasher. The sashing is a triple up (three separate layers) using three different sized Sashers. This gives a beautiful and interesting effect to the quilt.
