Layout the different parts of the butterfly template reference sheet.
Neatly iron out the three layers of block fabric,the background, batting, and front fabrics.
Quilt as you go.
Using a fabric marking pencil, trace out the different butterfly template parts on your chosen fabrics.
Then, cut them out using a rotary cutter.
When the pieces are glued in place, stitch them in place.
For the sashing strip, measure and cut out the strip.
Put the pin in place and iron out the rest of the strip.
Next, cut out a batting strip the size of the center of the sashing strip.
Insert the batting into the sashing strip, iron, and stitch.
