Butterflies flutter by in this cheerful spring and summer quilt pattern. It's made on a printed grid foundation, so every square lines up without matching points, and beginners can make a lap-size quilt with confidence.

Finished size depends on the grid you choose (before borders):

• 1" finished squares: 26" x 28" (cut 1.5" squares)
• 1.5" finished squares: 39" x 42" (cut 2" squares)
• 2" finished squares: 52" x 56" (cut 2.5" squares)

What's included

• The Flutter-By quilt pattern and instructions, free with your grid
• 6 panels of EasyPiecing Grid by Ten Sisters Handicraft in the size you select (each panel is 9 x 14 squares, 126 squares)

Not included: fabric.

How it goes together

Place your cut squares on the fusible grid foundation, press them in place, then fold and sew along the printed lines. No measuring each seam and no fussy matching.

Tips: a washable glue stick helps tack squares before pressing, and a pressing sheet keeps the adhesive off your iron and ironing board.
