This festive quilt finishes at 72″ x 78″ and was inspired by a sweet antique quilt. My favourite thing about the design is the little red triangles that for the corners of the pieced blocks and then create little “butterflies” as they meet. My other favourite thing is that half-square triangle border. So classic. It’s a fun quilt that will brighten up your home for the holidays with this traditional red, green, and white colouring. But make it scrappy and you have an instant heirloom for every day of the year!
