Lulu Roses Butterflies

February 17, 2015 by Angie 1 Comment

After finishing my last quilt (Lulu Roses) I decided my next quilt would be one that required zero thinking.

Since I’ve made several Flower Quilts (and one Butterfly quilt)  … I decided it would be cool if we could make a Butterfly Quilt with 2 Layers Cakes and 8 Fat Quarters.

I will admit that buying yards of fabric is way more affordable!!!   But for me I have to think about how much I use my arms and what causes me pain.  Using a paper trimmer and a rotary cutter are two activities that I have to limit (for now).

This past weekend I cut all the butterflies using the Accuquilt Critters Die.  

It takes one minute per butterfly to stitch around each of them … 80 Blocks + 80 Butterflies … 80 minutes of sewing.   Break that down into 20 minute increments (It took me four sessions of sewing to finish).   After typing all that I’m wondering … is that info helpful?

That’s as far as I’ve gotten … I’m sad to say I haven’t touched my machine since Sunday …. I’ll share more when I’ve made some progress.

Happy Fat Tuesday!!

    Zero thinking. That’s what I need when I sew! Can’t wait to see the finished quilt top.
    Have you thought about an electric die cutter? My SIL is a quilter and has hand and arm issues, and I suggested one for her.
