On Wednesday we celebrated Daisy’s 10th Birthday. To commemorate this milestone, I made her a “Daisy” quilt. I had similarly made a 10-year quilt for Topper, who is now 12.
I purchased the Daisy pattern from a website I follow called Cluck, Cluck, Sew. The pattern appeared in here March mailing, and I knew it would be perfect!
I purchased a fat quarter bundle from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Fabric Utopia. I liked the fabric so much that I have purchased several yards to use in another project to coordinate with the Daisy quilt.
Daisy loves to sit on top of our family room loveseat. Originally I had planned to include 10 Daisies to line up with her birthday; however, that would have been way too big for the loveseat, so I ended up making the crib size quilt, which is about 45” x 64” I had some leftover backing fabric from another project. I was a little short, since I had used it to make a tablecloth, so I pieced in a few scraps from the fat quarter bundle.
I really enjoyed making the daisies—so much that I have 11 more to use to make seat covers for our family room recliners. Hopefully, I can finish that project within the next month, although since I don’t have a hard deadline, it may get dragged out like so many of my projects!
