I used up some charm squares from the rainbow charm swap at Sewing Summit last year to make the wings, a white pindot for the background, and a few yellows for the center strips.
I sewed one block together just to make sure I was doing it right, and then chain pieced the other two to make the process go a little faster.
Here they are all finished, I really enjoyed making these! The tutorial is very well written if you're interested in trying it out.

I think I'll have to revisit these butterfly blocks soon!
