Sunny Days Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Sunny Days places flower and butterfly blocks in an alternating four-by-four arrangement. The flowers have rings of petals around circular centers, and each butterfly block pairs two butterflies with embroidered antennae. Sashing and cornerstones separate the blocks before two borders complete the square top. Designed by Marsha Evans Moore for the Sweet Abigail collection, this intermediate project offers turned-edge or raw-edge applique options and finishes at 51 inches square.
