This is the tute I used for my daughters "Peace, Love & Denim" quilt last summer. Very easy to follow and lots of fun to make. It could easily be adapted to non-denim fabs as well, even adding some very thin batting would work. The hardest part, for me, was finding enough thread to sew down the flaps. Went thru 4 spools of variagated pastels and ended up using another spool and a half of random pinks. I couldn't find any more of the variagated pastels in town! Because of that "issue", it did take me 3 months to actually finish the quilt. But it was a huge hit at cheer camp and made DD so proud of her mama. ^_^
I made one like this also, but not as ornate and no batting, for sure. Mine was all variations of denim with red bandana fabric in the center. I used $15 worth of red thread before I was done. Never took a pic of it but will when I get it moved over here from the farm. Enjoyed seeing yours, it is very decorative.
