I seem to be in a bug phase at the moment, because on the heels of my Spooky Spider paper piecing pattern, next up is a paper pieced dragonfly!
I designed this for a swap, and this little mini quilt is off to a new home—but since just about everyone loves dragonflies, I’ve turned it into a pattern that includes three sizes. Shown above is the large version (18″ finished); there is also a medium (12″) and small (9″) version, which primarily have less detail in the wings. You can pick it up now in my Payhip (EU crafters, VAT is included) and Craftsy shops!
Gossamer Wings is available in the Flying Parrot Quilts pattern shop.
Here are a few photos of dragonflies made by some of my lovely pattern testers.

This is beautiful! It’s fun to see what all your testers did with it.
Gorgeous! I love all the detail in the dragonfly!
Wowow! Wow!
So cool! You are my paper piecing person. I am going to post my attempt at lotion bottles later this month with my Spooky Steampunk lap quilt.
Bookmarking this baby so I can try these winged wonders!
