    If you are looking for applique or pieced blocks, try quilterscache. I think a 4 Patch Posy done in butterfly/flower fabric would be stunning.

    Did you see the happy daisies quilt that was on here a few weeks ago? Had butterflies and flowers on it; it was gorgeous

    This pattern is called "Blooming Butterflies" and it is both floweres and butterflies, when you put the blocks together. It is an easy pattern, uses 2 1/2 inch strips.

    When a member of our guild (a very sweet lady who loved butterflies) was sick, several other members each appliqued a beautiful butterfly onto a block of white fabric. One of the ladies pieced together a quilt from white fabric with these butterflies sprinkled around, as if they were flying. It was gorgeous!
