This month it was Toni's turn to direct us in the KC Scrappy Bee. She decided to have us each make butterfly blocks. We were each given a different color of hand dyed fabric to play with. I chose the purples to use in my blocks. I was able to make two blocks before I ran out of the black fabric I had.
I made one skinny and one fat. I think it gives the personality! I roughly used this tutorial to make these guys. I thought it would be even more "scrappy" if I just eye-balled it, so that's just what I did!
Toni didn't specify a size for the blocks, so I just trimmed mine to a rectangle so Toni can slice them to whatever the quilt dictates.
Here's links to the blocks that Hannah, Paula, Nikki, and Carla. Nikki did this extra block, too!
I hope you enjoy your butterfly blocks, Toni!

I love them and the black background really makes the butterflies stand (or should that be fly?) out.
