Thanks for the heads up, but I think your quilt would look great if a couple of rogues slipped into the design. Maybe you could embroider a couple of eyes (one winking) on them. BTW, yes I have thought about making that design.

I love this quilt. Thank you for the advise. Was this a die cut? They are not die cut. I used templates that I made myself. All fabric edges are turned under so there are no raw edges. I chose to machine applique them with a straight stitch rather than hand applique since I am sure my friend will be washing this light colored quilt alot. I just think that a machine stitched applique will be more durable. (I sure could be wrong though!) |
Looking good! Your orphans can go onto matching pillowcases or pillows.

I love this pattern. Hope to make it some day. I would've probably figured the cutting just like you did - so thanks for the warning. Very nice blocks!

I love this pattern! I made one for my DGD last year. Yours looks good...I had a similar issue laying them out- I think I had my odd-even rows reversed (hadn't taken a photo the first time). I was able to rearrange mine and get it to work. Now I take photos and look at them before assembling. I find it easier to remind myself of what my intentions were and to pick out errors.

Yes it is. I'm finishing the fine tuning of making the design into a machine embroidery though. The first test block turned out really nice, just a few stitch adjustments. I was so happy with it, it was my first design that I drew and turned it into an embroidery design.

The daisy quilt is indeed on my bucket list, but I thought I'd have to hand-embroider them (not my best event), so thanks for posting yours. I'm sure I would be thinking there would be 10 of each, as well. Of course, I'm also a person who thought, last year, that a 5x7 set on point would be 35 blocks, so that gives you some idea of my keen spatial skills. :) hugs, Charlotte |
Not on my bucket list, but I do LOVE your quilt!

I've also seen quilters that have added spare blocks on the back of the quilt. That always looks nice too!
