Butterfly Charm Block Week 5

I honestly Love Mondays lately lol. Every week I get to share a pretty butterfly with you to start the week out right! For those of you that are just tuning in My best Friend Crystal from Crystalized Designs and I have been doing a butterfly charm block sew along for a few weeks now. 5 to be exact. We are using the Butterfly Charm Block  Paper Piece Pattern by Lillyella stitchery. There are 3 different butterfly patterns to her pdf and I love them all!

For those of you that might be unsure of paper piecing I honestly suggest this amazing  tutorial by Connecting Threads.  After I watched this a few times it has been super easy ever since!!!!


I really love how my light green one turned out!!! This was the Gadget Pattern. I can usually work up each butterfly in about an hour or so.

I am really excited for next week's color. I will be using pink!!!!

If you’re joining in on the sewing fun, I’d love to see! Feel free to post pictures on or tag me on any social media site!

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Butterfly Charm Block Week 4

I LOVE MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I LOVE BUTTERFLIES!!!!!!!!!

 If you are just tuning in we are using the Butterfly Charm Block  Paper Piece Pattern by Lillyella stitchery.

If you have never paper pieced before but would like to learn, I found an amazing tutorial by Connecting Threads.

And don't forget to stop by Crystal's Blog to check out her butterfly this week!!!!

This week I did my Yellow Butterfly. I had a few distractions this week while getting things ready for some of my family visiting this past weekend.

 I didn't notice till I pieced the last 2 pieces together that I forgot to cut off access fabric after each step. If you look really closely you might notice. Other then that I got this one worked up in an hour. I honestly just love how fast these work up. 





This next week I was supposed to be working up my teal butterfly however I have decided against my fabric choices so I am going to run to the fabric store and see if I can find some that I like otherwise there will be a mystery color!!!!!!!!!!!

Butterfly Charm Block Week 3

It's MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means I get to show you another AMAZING Butterfly today. If you are just tuning in we are using the Butterfly Charm Block  Paper Piece Pattern by Lillyella stitchery.

If you have never paper pieced before but would like to learn, I found an amazing tutorial by Connecting Threads.

And don't forget to stop by Crystal's Blog to check out her butterfly this week!!!! (PSSST) This week she did my favorite color)

For this weeks Butterfly  I used the  Lucy's Crab Shack Charm Pack from Moda Fabrics. So I have to admit this butterfly is special to me this week. There is a secret hidden within the butterfly!!!!!!!

This is the third butterfly in the collection of patterns that you get. This one is called Cricket. These honestly work up so quickly. And remember this project is the first time both Crystal and I have ever tried our hand at paper piecing.  It is just so much fun. I was able to get this butterfly done in just over an hour with minor distractions from the tiny humans.


Speaking of tiny human so when I was piecing this fabric together there was one block that had a ton of names on it and behold in one of the corners of this single fabric square is my threenagers name. So I knew I had to squeeze that tiny corner of that fabric into my butterfly.

Now the search is on.......I must find fabric that contains my oldest sons name.      

Stay tuned................ 

Here is the fabric for next week!!!

Butterfly Charm Block Week 2

Well Week 2 was a success. I had learned all my mistakes from Week 1 and really had no problems this week. If you are just tuning in and want to learn how to paper piece I found this amazing YouTube tutorial from Connecting Threads . We are using the pattern Butterfly Charm Block Pattern by  Lillyella stitchery. Also remember you can catch Crystal's weekly butterfly over on her blog Crystalized Designs.



So this week I did an orange butterfly. I have to be honest orange is not my favorite color in the world. And I really didn't have much to choose from in the orange color category in terms of fabric. However I really do like the way the colors started looking once I started piecing it together. 

There are 3 different butterflies to this pattern collection. So next week you will also see a slightly different layout. I am just in love with these patterns. And I honestly Can't wait to see it all done. I would have to say paper piece quilting is definitely a new hobby and I can't wait to do more projects after this. 









I love the fabric for next week. I will be using the light blue color out of the Lucy's Crab Shack Charm Pack from Moda Fabrics that I have been holding on to what seems like forever haha.
