Butterfly - 2026 Pillow Series

Add a flutter of color and charm to your sewing year with this scrappy butterfly pillow, our next project in the 2026 Pillow Series! In this class, you’ll transform a handful of mini charm squares and coordinating fabrics into a beautifully pieced butterfly block full of texture, whimsy, and movement. This project is perfect for showcasing small prints, leftovers from past quilts, or a brand-new mini charm pack you’ve been waiting to use.

We’ll begin by walking through fabric selection and color placement to help your butterfly wings shine. From there, you’ll learn how to piece the block using small, precise units, building clean corners, balanced angles, and crisp seams as the butterfly takes shape. We’ll also cover pressing techniques and layout tips to keep everything aligned and tidy.

Once the block is assembled, we’ll explore simple quilting options that add texture without overwhelming the delicate patchwork. Finally, you’ll turn your quilted panel into a polished pillow cover, complete with a neat back closure so it’s ready to display on a couch, bed, or cozy reading chair.

This class is ideal for confident beginners looking to practice precision piecing and for seasoned quilters who love a scrappy, satisfying project. You’ll head home with a fresh spring-inspired pillow and another beautiful addition to your 2026 pillow series!

All materials for the class (including the machine!) will be provided. Just bring yourself! If you would like to bring in your own machine, please feel free to do so.
