I made this last year for my son. He is in his 30's and his fav color has been purple since he was young. He didn't like the light, said the are lavendar and old lady! LOL!! The good thing is he still loves it and has it on the top of his bed---back side up!!!!! When he was little, I called him Douger-do. Some of his cousins still call him Douger and joked around when they saw what I put on the back.

Thank you everyone. You all are so nice.

Izy--He said he gets teased by his friends when they see the Douger-Do, but he could always put his blanket over the quilt.

Quilting G and Candi-- yes it is machine embroidry using a baby lock embroidry machine. We put it directly on the backing.
