The mother of all butterfly blocks for Annmarie!!! Tried to make it look like a monarch butterfly. Colors are brighter than picture. We tried to darken it and that helped a little.

Sandpat - annmarie said any color, any size!!! I think this is the only block that does not have to be 12 1/2 "

Ladies
Annmarie's butterfly blocks have no size she wants them to be varoius sizes. Do not worry about that. We are all okay with 6in, 9in, and so on!!!
