So cute! She will love it even more when she gets older. What little (or big) girl doesn't love purple?!

It is a wonderful baby quilt and one the baby is going to love looking at when he/she is a bit older. Great choices in fabric and l like the idea of the soft binding. You did a great job.

This is my second quilt with satin binding. It is a bit tricky. I machine bind (gasp!) and use 1/2" seam allowance to sew it to the back edge of the quilt. Then I pull it over and use a decorative stitch to attach - this was a scallop. For the first one I ended up going over it twice with a blanket stitch and ... I'm not real proud of how it looks, but that binding is NOT going anywhere! This one really did turn out nice - remembering to stop 1/2", not 1/4" from the corner was the trick.

What a bright, beautiful butterfly quilt! I love it & know the little one it's intended for will, too!
