Pin and sew 1 cream 1-1/4" finished half square triangle to each of the teal and print bowtie units. Press toward the dark fabric.
Make 14 of each.
Pin and sew 1 teal and 1 print bowtie together. Press seams toward one side. Make 14 units.
Sew together to make seven bowtie blocks.
The photo below shows the cutting for the signature blocks.
Pin and sew 1—2-1/2" finished half square triangle on either side of the print 5" finished signature blocks as shown.
Make four.
Butterfly applique:
- Apply Heat n Bond Lite to the back of the scrap batiks following directions on the package.
- Place the butterflies on the 5" finished squares.
- Choose your favorite way to appliqué. I used a Micron pen to draw the antennas.
Arrange your blocks as shown in the following photo.
Sew the blocks together and then the rows.
Add the signature blocks and remaining bowtie blocks to the top and bottom of the baby quilt.
