I made one similar for my DGD..it was fun and easy to make. I appliqued the petals while I watched TV..it was really fun to make.

AZ Jane,
I love your version, the backing certainly did give you wonderful inspiration for the front flowers!

RedGarnet222,
Great information! I love applique, most of my quilts incorporate it somehow. And I'll be trying your way soon.
Regards all,
Kif

[QUOTE=AZ Jane;7024017]This is my version, but I did start with the backing, then looked for the fabric for the front. It was fun to make. And yes, it was machine appliqued. It was for a grand-daughter and I knew it would be washed often.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]503922[/ATTACH]]I have my pieces all cut out but other things came first--I'm using solid colors but I really like the various prints you have used--might have to make some changes.

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.

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.

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?

Quiltmaker mag had a whole series of quilts like this including the daisy one. You might want to search their website.
