Riley Blake Flutterfly Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Riley Blake Flutterfly is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern that produces a finished quilt measuring 60" x 72". This project creates a beautiful patchwork quilt composed of 20 individual Flutterfly blocks, each with a finished size of 10" x 10". The pattern is designed by Riley Blake Designs and is available as a free downloadable resource for quilters of all skill levels.

Quilting Techniques Used

This quilt pattern employs fundamental quilting techniques suitable for quilters with basic knowledge of the craft. The construction method involves piecing fabric units together using standard quilting assembly practices. The pattern requires sewers to work with right sides of fabric together and maintain consistent ¼" seam allowances throughout the project. The Flutterfly block design uses a systematic approach where individual units are created first, then combined to form the complete block, which is then repeated multiple times to construct the full quilt top.

Stitches and Construction Methods

The pattern utilizes straightforward piecing stitches common to quilting projects. Sewers create Unit A by combining cream spot triangles with assorted print triangles. Four Unit As are then sewn together to form the Center Unit. Cream spot small triangles are added to the assorted print corners of the Center Unit to complete each individual Flutterfly Block. This block construction is repeated 20 times to create the full quilt composition. All seaming follows standard quilting practices with ¼" seam allowances included in all measurements.

Materials and Fabric Requirements

The Flutterfly quilt pattern requires one Flutterberry Fat Quarter Stack (FQ-4590-18) from Riley Blake Designs, along with additional yardage for the project completion. Fat quarters are pre-cut fabric pieces that provide convenient access to coordinated prints and colors. The pattern incorporates cream spot fabric and assorted print fabrics that work together to create the distinctive butterfly motif within each block. Quilters will need basic quilting supplies including a sewing machine, thread, and standard quilting tools to complete this project.
