paper pieced butterfly

Now that I am done with the calendar kids quilt,

I do not want to start a large project,

just small scale quilting!

It had been quite a while since I had done any paper piecing,

so when I saw these cute (and free!) paper pieced butterfly pattern by Lillyella

I jumped to the opportunity to sew one: 

I truly enjoy the accuracy and precision of this technique.

I played with a Liberty of London print to make beautiful wings on my butterfly,

with a mixture of pink/purple.

It turned out pretty good,

and I know exactly where this cutie is going to go...

Happy sewing!
