My My Butterfly Cot Quilt

Make a striking cot quilt for a baby or toddler with Monica Poole’s butterfly quilt pattern. It features an oversize butterfly appliquéd on a pre-quilted background and an unusual sculpted edge giving the look of a butterfly.

• Full materials list included in instructions
• Detailed step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams and close-up photographs guide you through each phase of the project
• Streamline construction by using a double-sided quilted fabric, as Monica did, or use Monica’s notes to quilt your own background fabric, which is quite achievable on a domestic sewing machine due to the smaller quilt size
• Pattern sheet included with all appliqué shapes provided full size, ready for tracing
• Using a bias-tape maker for the outlines of the appliqué makes it easy with no need to turn under the raw edges yourself
• Instructions are provided for fusible-web appliqué blanket stitched by machine, but they can be easily adapted to suit other appliqué methods
• Includes Monica’s tips for machine appliqué, working with fusible web and making a pressing board
• Makes a great gift for a baby or toddler made up in colours and fabrics to suit their bedroom
• An impressive cot quilt that is easier to make than it looks
• This is a great project for a beginner who has had some prior quiltmaking experience
