I copied it and named it 'Happy Daisies'. I played around with paper until I got the size petals and stems that I wanted. Then I made a template. The blocks are 13" square and then cut in half and sewed together, then squared to 12 1/2". I copy lots of things I see, unless it specifically says don't copy it. If that's not okay, then I'm a dead duck. I do not have a creative mind. Even though I don't know where it came from originally, I do remember my mom making a daisy quilt about 50 years ago. She didn't use the positive/negative color scheme, just the daisy petals. That's probably why I like this quilt so much, it reminds me of her.

Hi Kathie,
Well no wonder you wanted to copy it, it is wonderful! You did a really nice job on the colors too. I copy patterns alot myself, not because I can't find it, because it saves me money ...LOL!
It sure is a cute pattern.

Your quilt is sure happy such a nice pattern I think a lot of us have good "Daisy Memories" I can remember my Mom having a tablecloth that she had embroidered with daisies. She loved drawing and mostly made designs from pictures.You have done a wonderful job on this quilt And i'm sure it will become a treasure for someone special!

I LOVE daisies and hadn't seen them done this way before! Copying is OK by my book. I might copy your design to put on some cards I will be making!

Thanks for the compliments. Some people asked for the pattern. I don't have a pattern. What I said in the original message is what I did as far as the size of the blocks. I can copy my templates and you could use them, as elementary as they are.
