Butterfly Reborn - a quilt without corners

A quilt without corners:  This project will require 4 sessions with homework 

• Session 1:  We will read through the instructions and organize our colors. Our goal will be to cut and sew one strip set in class.  You will need to cut and sew the other strip sets as homework. Come to session 2 with your strip sets cut into 3” strips.

• Session 2: We will be sewing one of each variety of strip panels and cutting them into wedges. Very important to label your wedges per instructions.  Bring to class 3 the wedges labeled.

• Session 3:  Make the butterfly body, stitch the 2 halves and body together and make the antenna.  

• Session 4:   Finishing.  You will need batting and backing.  We will stitch “in-the-ditch”  to quilt.   We will discuss bias-binding creation and sewing on the binding.
