Butterfly Blocks, Celebrating Butterflies with Kaleidoscope of Butterflies....

My butterfly calendar, month of July, and some blocks I'm working on.

Butterfly blocks for a mini quilt, design by Fig Tree Co.

Red Spot Jezebel is the July showcase in my butterfly calendar, I like the colors in the photo. 
 
I found a butterfly mini quilt, designed by Fig Tree & Co., that looked like a fun project. I don't know yet if I'll follow the pattern exactly or improvise around the blocks a little. The blocks are about 4" x 4", and they're a bit fiddly until you remember which corners get snowballed without having to have the pattern in front of you.
I've been noticing more Monarchs in my neighborhood, I think they know when they're being admired. 

Happy Fourth of July!!

I like your butterflies (stitched and calendar both). Had a peek at the patterns available from Fig Tree & Co - wow - many drool-worthy things to see!

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a Red Spot Jezebel. Beautiful. And, those little butterflies sure work up splendidly in those batiks.

Thank You Mary Ann.
Yes, Fig Tree & Co has some great patterns and fabric.

I know, the Red Spot Jezebel is exotic. I think it lives in Australia mostly, maybe exclusively.
