Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - Flutterly Fabulous Collection

From the "Flutterly Fabulous" Butterfly Collection! This block was designed after the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, scientific name Papilio glaucus.

This specimen finishes to 12x12", 15x15", or 20x20" in 13 sections and is Foundation Paper Pieced. It is recommended for this with intermediate to advanced skills, as there are small sections and seams that require careful joining.There are not written directions inside the PDF for paper piecing. 

Difficulty: 3.5 out of 5

You will only receive a digital download that you can print at home. There are two different PDF versions available to you for download. A4 and US Letter are both included in this listing, depending on your printing size preference. 

Included are:

-pattern for the 12" block

-pattern for the 15" block

-pattern for the 20" block

-the instructions and directions on the order to assemble pieces

-a 1 inch square on each pattern size to assure correct printer settings

As of 6/16/20 - Also included are 5 quilt layouts and directions for the Flutterly Fabulous Collection! (All blocks sold separately) 

The entirety of this pattern was hand drawn, meaning it is not perfectly symmetrical from one side of the butterfly to the other. 

There are no Y seams in my patterns.

My written PDF instructions are written to only be a guide during assembly, not a how-to for someone who has never done foundation paper piecing before. I DO offer links with how-to videos and free patterns.
