Butterfly quilts are still much sought after and beautifully popular. As symbols of re-birth and metamorphosis, we are drawn to their symbolic imagery of awakening to a new life, new opportunities and the chance to be 'born again' into all that we wish and dream we might become.
I have been collecting free butterfly quilt patterns for some time, and was motivated by the beautiful butterfly quilts at the 2008 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters, Oregon to combine those quilt photographs with my free butterfly quilt patterns .

I really like your patterns here. The one I'd really like to find the pattern to is the stained glass one, but the link just goes to a place to look at patterns...and I'm not savvy enough to find it from there. Lots of patterns to think about and try...as I'm wanting a butterfly quilt for my daughter...her last one was called Harvest of the Heart and it was heart appliques done in fruits. Theresa
I am do sorry if links fail to work. This usually means it was removed at the originating source. If i know a link is broken i always try to replace or correct it but many designers discontinue offers or sites close and the original pattern cannot be found found or used to link up to.
