Finished quilt front after washing.

Piecing is horizontal purple cotton fabric strips with intermittent lime green strips, followed by a purple & lime green flannel sashing, and a final two-layer brick border.

Quilt backing is a happy purple daisy print.

A monogrammed initial block adds personalization.

Vivid purple thread on the front, and white thread on the back, highlights the "Flutterby" quilting pattern. 

I stamped my name and year with fabric ink on a folded corner of fabric, then sewed it as a label into the binding.

I joined several leftover batting strips using a wide zig-zag stitch as part of the quilt sandwich.
