Scraps Take Flight Pattern Release

I made this quilt last year and since then it has been the one I reach for the most when I'm in the living room. Actually, when I was working on it, I intended to donate it, but that never happened because I fell in love with it and had to keep it for myself!

Scraps Take Flight was the first regularly scheduled pattern released to Stash Artists members after the membership opened last June (the first, first pattern was Reverberate, which was ready for members to download as soon as they joined). Since then I've had a lot of fun sharing stash-friendly patterns with members, like Ombre Twirl, Blooming Beautiful, Pinwheel Irish Chain, and more. If you love stash-friendly, scrappy patterns, join the waitlist so you'll be notified when the Stash Artists doors open again in the fall.

Stash Artists patterns remain exclusive to members for at least a year, after which they may be made available to the general quilty public. Since it's a year after its release to members, Scraps Take Flight is now available in my shop 😊

Did you know one of the names for a group of butterflies is 'flight'? I love the extra layer of meaning that adds to the pattern name - your scraps can take flight when you turn them into these fun butterflies, plus there's a whole flight of scrappy butterflies in the quilt.

The butterflies are traditionally pieced and the butterfly body is raw edge applique. One Stash Artists member also embroidered antenna on her butterflies, which was a great addition.

The Scraps Take Flight pattern has instructions for the 62" x 72" throw size I made, plus a 42" x 42" baby quilt and a 92" x 92" queen size. 

How many butterflies do you think you could make from your scrap bins? Head to my shop to get your Scraps Take Flight pattern, then dig into your scraps to create your flight of scrappy butterflies 😊
