This Daisy quilt is adorable. Is it made using applique?

I stumbled upon this quilt while browsing the Accuquilt facebook page. The flowers are so cute and I have so many pastel fabrics that would look great with something like this.

Are the blocks made using applique? I have not yet dabbled in applique or shapes other than rectangles, square, triangles, etc. But I would love to learn. Do you use a material that adheres the shape to your block and then stitch (carefully--how long does that take to learn to look nice???) around the edges with a blanket stitch?

That quilt was originated here on this board by a member and there are many pictures of people that made them. It is on my bucket list to do. I think at one time she offered the pattern to a couple people. You might try looking in the albums here to find them.

Yes the petals would be appliqued onto the backing. There are some great tutorials on applique on line. Utube and I think even allpeoplequilt.com has them to watch to give you confidence enough to make it.

Not exactly. On this board it was referred to as Happy Daisy and while very, very similar to the quilt posted by AngelinaMaria it is not exactly the same. KathyAire saw it in a magazine and decided to duplicate it. She did come up with her own templates. She then researched it and found the original pattern maker and posted it.

AngelinaMaria, Here are links to several posts about it:

Edited to add, I found a more recent thread. KathyAire no longer offers the templates but apparently the original maker still sells the pattern. Here is a thread from last year with more links.

Yes, you are right. It is an old pattern. At our local quilt store, the owner was teaching this quilt long before the Quilting Board existed. In fact she is still teaching it. I have mine half done. It is really easy to applique the flower on the plain rectangle by machine. It is good practice for someone new to machine applique.. It comes out really neat.

Vernal, you posted that this is an old pattern and was being taught at your local quilt store only by another name---do you remember the name of the pattern that was being used? Thank you.

Marlene, I have the pattern. It is called "Painted Daisys" by Garden Path Designs, Nancy Schwalm 2003. It says "adapted from a quilt displayed in Duluth, Mn." I don't know if it is still in print. It shows the flowers put together in circles. But, there are several ways to put the blocks together.
I'm anxious to finish mine. It is really pretty.

I, too, would like to make this quilt. My question is if 1--you make the blocks, square them up and then appliqué the daisies on each individual block, 2--appliqué the daisies on the blocks and then square the blocks up, 3--or would you sew all of the blocks together to make the background of the quilt and then appliqué the daisies on?

Thanks RedGarnet. I have done a number of searches here and can not find anything. Darn.
