A New Happy Quilting Pattern : Butterfly Whirl!!!

It's another new Happy Quilting Pattern and Quilt!!!   Here is Butterfly Whirl!!! And oh, I am just thrilled to be sharing this quilt.  This has been on my mind since clear back here in 2015 when I made the original namesake for Quilt Con.  I loved the layout but wanted to see actual pieced butterflies!!!  So ya, it was a long time coming, but I think it was totally worth the wait.  Isn't it just so pretty!!

The  Butterfly Whirl Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version.  And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format.  

 Butterfly Whirl is great for beginners and experts alike.   The butterflies are all traditionally pieced with lovely nested Stitch and Flip goodness.  So no paper piecing.   And once all your butterflies are pieced, the pattern walks you through step by step of how to put them into the "whirl".   It really is so fun to see it come together :)   And because of the layout, this is my first Happy Quilting Pattern without size options.   Just one size fits all for this one, 84" x 84".   The math just wouldn't math any other way :)  

This version of  Butterfly Whirl is made with a Willow Layer Cake by One Canoe Two for Moda.  I just love these gorgeous soft colors and beautiful prints.   It is just perfect for these dainty butterflies!!     The quilt is Layer Cake Friendly, so you can grab a stack and get cutting!!!  And if you choose the optional scrappy binding as shown, you will use up every last bit of your layer cake, so great :)   Don't you just love a scrappy binding, just so fun!  

I quilted this version of  Butterfly Whirl with a giant swirl that got bigger as the butterflies got bigger.  This meant I quilted on my domestic machine and man I haven't done that in a while.   Basting this quilt was a total throwback.   But I just love the way the swirl emphasizes the "whirl" of the design.  I will say, I wish I would have made the transitions a little less dramatic, but ah well.  I still love it!! 

And that is my new  Butterfly Whirl quilt and Pattern!!!    And I am just so loving it!!!  I just know you are going to love making your own as well ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Butterfly Whirl Quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
