    Default Butterflies are free pattern

    The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono and is King Size 104 inches square

    From start to finish it took 3 weeks

    Thank you for looking
    This is the pattern I've been searching for!! How can I obtain one? I'm willing to purchase one used!
    Thank you!!

    Beautiful quilt! I wouldn't think an army of sewing machines could make that in just a weekend.

    Glad to know that quilt retreats are happening again.

    oops, didn't read far enough. 3 weeks, not one weekend. Still impressive!

    Glad to know that quilt retreats are happening again.

    They were happening regularly in 2014. LOL This is an old post. But I'm glad to report all the retreat centers I usually go to are open and fully booked for the rest of the year.

    Wonderful job! How long did it take to cut all the pieces? And you two finished it over a weekend and quilted it in one day! Amazing. Be proud of yourselves.

    Wow! That's gorgeous! I'm so impressed that you can do a collaborative quilt. I'm not sure I could ever do that. I admire those that can.
