You can find the pattern for my Butterfly Charm Blocks here. I substituted my Love Story pattern block for the butterfly and then used solid fabric cuts for the other pockets with some added lace trim details.įirst I’m going to share some tutorials and tips on creating the accent pocket panels which are the paper pieced butterfly and the selvedge pockets, then I’ll cover a bit more details on piecing the panels and trim options.Īll the information you need to create the accent pocket pieces is included in the pattern (including a link to a tutorial on making the butterfly for beginner paper piecers), but I will go into a bit more detail here and include some additional tips and photos, as well as design variation ideas.

Be sure to check out the #undercovermakermat hashtag on social media to see tons of creative inspiration!Ībove you can see just a few variations from mats that I’ve made in the past. You can adjust the sizes, add more or less pockets, you can piece them all with any block you love or you can eve use one solid cut of fabric to make it really quick and easy. One thing to note about the pocket panels is that there are SO many ways you can customize this entire project, but especially this part. Don’t forget to think about seam allowances when calculating cutting sizes. If you’re just getting started on your mat, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time!īefore you begin your pocket panels remember that if you changed the size of your main body, you will need to also adjust the size of the pocket panels! You can do this by changing the size of one pocket or adjusting all the pockets equally.
