Daisy Fidget Quilt
After finishing taxes it was time to get creative again. I usually try to make something for Mother’s Day for my mother-in-law. Last year it was the Petal Jewelry Pouch. This year I decided to try a “Fidget Quilt.” I looked at a number of examples on Pinterest and Etsy for inspiration. It was a great way to use up scraps from some of my other projects as well as various notions I had collected, such as tulle from my dogs’ groomer.
I had recently downloaded a cute pattern from Sewspicious called Scrappy Puffy Flower Tutorial. I decided to make the flowers the focus of my quilt. I had some cute bear fleece fabric as well as some other fleece fabric I had used to back a previous quilt. I found some Daisy trim, Bee ribbon. I also wanted to incorporate a zipper into the design and I found some textured brocade fabric to use. I secreted one of my custom “handmade by Marjorie” labels inside the zipper compartment. I started the day after Easter and got it in the mail by May 8th, just in time for Mother’s Day. It was a very enjoyable project and was well-received by my mother-in-law.
