Take Wing Butterfly Wallhanging

It's getting much colder here!  Brrrrr! Winter has most definitely arrived!

 

And it's getting harder to photograph my projects outside - icy showers are never too far away!

For a while now I have been wanting to make Lillyella's Take Wing Butterfly pattern. 

 

Butterflies hold symbolic meaning for me, and when I first saw Nicole's Take Wing Butterfly, it took my breath away!

The butterfly is foundation paper pieced in 5 sections.  I LOVE foundation piecing because of the crisp, sharp points and lines you get from this technique.

 

And Nicole includes a really helpful colouring sheet, so you can colour in the sections of your butterfly first to get an idea of colour and fabric placement.

The fabrics I used were mostly Sunprints by Alison Glass, leftovers from a rainbow quilt I made in the summer.

 

Most of the pieced sections are small, so this would also be a great scrap-buster project.  And if you don't fancy a wallhanging, it can easily be transformed into a beautiful cushion.

I will be teaching this next term as part of my new program of classes. I do hope you can join us for some foundation piecing fun!

 

Happy sewing!
