and found a paper pieced butterfly--
this is my version--
here is the original one--
could not get the black center body parts to line up--
I tried and tried!!

Also found paper piecing star pattern and did a couple of those--

blue butterfly for the January colors of blue/purple
blue/purple stars for January--
cause of a mix up of the pattern pieces, I have 4 stars instead of 2!!

and these 2 blocks are for 'In our garden' by Sew Incredibly crafty--
the original pattern does not have tongue--it needs one--but not sure after 2 attempts if I like mine??

but then as I did more blocks--
I redid this one--
