Here are my three butterflies for this month. Paper piecing is always tricky. I found I had missed adding piece number 5 in my blocks. Lots of unpicking apart from fixing that error, usually due to misalignment and not enough coverage. I also had Old Mac blocks to do as well, not all finished yet. Thanks for the challenge...

One of the things I like about Block Lotto is I always learn something.  I learned two things about myself making these:  1)  I don’t have very much orange in my stash.  It is not that I dislike orange, as I will use any color to get the look I want.  Still, these are the only 3 fabrics I had that were orange.  2)  I had never given a lot of thought to grain line on paper pieced blocks, and it is more difficult to get them straight than I...

I tried paper piecing once again even though I thought never again. One butterfly for me this month. I still need to remove paper but will do that before it flies off to it’s new owner (if it’s not me).   Cathy L in...

One of these butterflies is not like the others … because it’s not paper pieced.  I have details on my blog today, if you’re curious: How Many Ways … For what it’s worth, I think this alternative is just as much work and just as fussy as paper piecing can be … except there’s no paper to remove when you’re done 😉 I’ll also include more details on another post here, in a minute … in the...

Here are my six blocks for this...

4 bright orange butterflys for me this month in the lotto…good luck to...

My four butterflys for donation.   I didn’t really enjoy making these, as I challenged myself to get the grain running straight, where I would normally just cut and sew and not worry about it.  Still need to remove the foundations.   I used cotton paper as the foundation, and it stood up far better than the ordinary printer paper with the number of times some seams were ripped out and resewn. I love reading the humourous puns and comments...
