Quick Answer
The Flutterby Block Quilt Circle BOTM is an exclusive monthly block pattern that uses four squares of focus fabric to create four quarter-square triangles, and it pairs perfectly with the Quick Curve Ruler for stress-free curved sewing.
Why the Flutterby Block Stands Out
The Flutterby Block is an exclusive Block of the Month (BOM) for Quilt Circle, meaning it's only available to members who participate in the monthly program. It's a fusion of traditional piecing with easy, no-stress curved sewing, making it accessible even if you're new to curves.
Because the block uses four squares of focus fabric, you can showcase a favorite print or create a coordinated look with multiple fabrics. The result is a striking butterfly-like design that adds movement to any quilt.
What to Expect from the Pattern
The pattern is designed to be used with the Quick Curve Ruler, which eliminates the need for pins, centering, or fussy curved piecing. This means you can sew curves confidently, even if you've avoided them in the past.
The instructions are written for quilters who want a modern, geometric look without the hassle of traditional curved piecing. The block is versatile enough for a sampler quilt or a full quilt of repeated blocks.
