ABOUT THE QUILT 
Like the biological order for which it’s named, my Lepidoptera sampler quilt includes a variety of beautiful butterflies and moths. Alice, Beatrix, Carmen, Della, Eugenia, and Fern combine to make an 84” x 84” sampler quilt perfect for using your favorite colorful fat quarters! The 45” x 45” Small Quilt includes a single large-scale Alice block and makes a perfect baby quilt or wall hanging.

All blocks are sewn with simple straight and diagonal seams. No templates or paper piecing!

ABOUT THE FABRIC
My quilt is made using  30 fat quarters from  Pacific and Rhoda Ruth collections for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. The pattern includes a fabric chart with easy-to-follow letter and number codes to ensure that you can duplicate my fabric placement exactly or, if you’re using different fabric, distribute it evenly throughout the quilt.

When selecting colorful fat quarters for the Lepidoptera quilt, choose colorful fabrics in sets of 6 monochromatic fat quarters each. The quilt will be most successful if the fabrics in each set include a value scale from lightest (Fabric 1) to darkest (Fabric 6). A complete list of the colorful fabrics I used is included in the pattern.

If you prefer, you can easily substitute scraps or odd-sized fabric from your stash for the colorful fat quarters. The instructions for each of the block designs include a complete list of cut pieces for each block, so it’s easy to use scraps or make blocks for other projects.

We can make kits, fabrics will be different than pictured
