What a great quilt! Very colorful. I am with you on being a 'dead duck' if coping a quilt from a picture will get me in trouble!

Thank you, Kathy, such a cheery quilt. I love it.

In your photo the borders look "fuzzy" -- did you use chenille or some type of terrycoth for them? Whatever it is, it gives dimension to the daisies and adds so much to your design.

The border is the same fabric as the white blocks. I quilted a looser design in the border and did simple meandering in the blocks. I used white signature thread in the border and monofilament thread in the blocks. I didn't want to change thread for every color so I just used the mono on all of it, except the border. The quilting is denser everywhere except the borders.

I will email you a picture of the back. I found the neatest fabric at Walmart that has little daisies all over, perfect for this quilt.

KathyAire-what is signature thread? Something for a quilting machine?

Signature is a brand name.

This quilt is so bright and cheery! I did a positive/negative snowflake quilt this year and it was a lot of fun. I have been looking for another one to make. Do you mind if I make one too?

Happy Tails 08-09-2010 03:28 AM

That is absolutely beautiful!!! I wish I could make one like that. It is indeed a Happy Quilt!!!

I would be happy for anyone to make it. Here is the link for the instructions. I can't wait to see all the Daisy quilts.

Loved your quilt so much, had to try one of my own. Thank you for sharing

KathyAire 08-09-2010 08:21 AM

I love it. Did you just do it? You're fast.

paintmejudy 08-09-2010 08:23 AM

I made three (tops, not entire quilts) of them this weekend, for AZBlankets4Kids, my charity work. They provide quilts for kids in crises of one type or another, and are about 40" by 55".

That is just awesome! Very pretty quilt.
I copy the same way, as I have no creative bones :D

Judy,

Your Daisy quilt is so good it deserves it's own topic. All the people that have already looked at this one, will miss it. Send it again and call it 'Another Daisy Quilt' so everyone can see it.

Homespun 08-09-2010 10:21 AM

So bright and cheerful--I love it!

I, also, kept hearing mention of copyright laws, but could not make heads or tails, of the legalese. I was thrilled when I received the Sept/Oct 2010 issue of McCall's Quilting magazine the other day in the mail. Those kind folks have distilled the law into easily understandable English, with regard to patterns, for those of us who need to know. I would encourage all of you to read it for your own 'piece' of mind. Good work all of you!
