| The back, in flannel |
Front is the Prism Quilt pattern by Anna Marie Horner for Janome; I'm participating in the Prism QAL, see the button on my sidebar for details.
I used mostly stash fabrics; some from the pack of fat quarters I won from V&Co, had to buy a few browns and greens though due to a major lack in my stash.
The batting was an old cream wool blanket with some stains that washing didn't move. It was a touch on the prickly side so didn't get used as a blanket often, this way it'll be used a lot.
Backing is Essentials Flannel by Wilmington; I got it for a very good price from Fabric Shack and it worked well for backing and binding. Makes it nice and snuggly for winter; which is good considering winter has definitely hit here.
I took it into Stitch to show off this morning and it was very well received, some of the fabric I used came from there. I think I might put it in the Summer Sewing Competition (see my sidebar for that button too); it looks summery to me and might help me think it's summer even though it's freezing cold!

Thank you, I love the butterfly too. I've put off doing more quilting on it because I don't want my butterfly disappearing. Being a blanket in the middle it doesn't really need it I don't think anyway.
It's a lovely design, hope you enjoyed making it as much as I have.
I love the colors! Beautiful!
Thank you, I popped over to your blog too, some lovely work there. I might have just started following you :)
Great quilt! Love the fabrics! The butterfly was a great choice...
Thanks for that, I love the butterfly too; I didn't draw it before hand so was quite pleased when it turned out so well.
Doesn't it feel good to have made this! I know when I finished mine it was so rewarding. It looks wonderful :)
It felt wonderful and has come in handy today, my husband is feeling a bit unwell so has been wrapped in it all day.
