Ombre Butterfly is a quilt pattern by Jennifer Long of Sew A Story that gives traditional piecing a fresh twist. Color gradients bring a large-scale butterfly to life, with wings that shift from deep teal through soft sage and cream to blush and terracotta on the cover quilt. The finished quilt measures 55" x 60".
Designed for confident beginners, the pattern keeps construction simple and approachable while showcasing the beauty of blending tones. It’s fat quarter and fat eighth friendly, so it’s a great way to highlight a favorite fabric collection or curated bundle. It’s a printed paper pattern sewn with standard machine piecing.
Try your own ombre in a single color family, a rainbow gradient, or soft pastels for a nursery. At 55" x 60", it’s a lovely size for a throw, a baby or child’s quilt, or a statement wall hanging. Pair it with the Scattered Butterfly Quilt, another Jennifer Long design, for a coordinated set.
