Lepidoptera Sampler Quilt Kit - Color Camp
🦋 Lepidoptera: Color Camp is 19 butterflies, 30 glorious colorful prints, 1 work of art, 0 regrets.
Elizabeth Hartman's butterfly sampler meets Alison Glass's Color Camp fabrics, pulled from all four collections (Bloom, Dusk, Grove, and Sun) for a paintbox palette that runs from fuchsia to tangerine to chartreuse to teal to cobalt. Each wing is built from strips that step from dark to light. The soft Sweet Macadamia background lets every one of them pop.
At the center, one giant statement butterfly holds court. Her name is Alice (yes, they all have names). The rest of the colorful crew flutters around her in a mix of sizes and shapes.

💡 Why this kit
Gradient wings live or die by their fabrics. Every shade has to step smoothly into the next, and every hue needs to get along with its neighbors.
That's Color Camp's whole job. These two-color fabrics read like solids but carry a touch of texture and depth, so the gradients stay clear from across the room and still reward a closer look. Pulling from all four collections puts the full color wheel in one kit.
The upside for you: the color stories, fabric selection, and background have all been figured out. You get to skip the part where you stare at a stack of 30+ fabrics and wonder whether you've made a terrible mistake.
