A Daisy Garden

I’ve been working on this quilt on & off for a while and finally pieced it together.
It was fun!

I chose fabrics that I had in my stash, most of which I’d bought at WalMart.  I bought some extra to make sure I had enough variety.

Quilts don’t have to be expensive… the most I paid was $2 yard!

It is a bright & cheery quilt with mostly yellows/blues/greens… one of my favorite combinations.

The “pattern” I chose to do is called a “Disappearing Nine Patch”.
It’s great for any skill level.

I sewed the fabrics into strips of 3.  They strips measured 6 in x 45 in.

I then cut the long strips into 6 in. strips, and sewed three random strips together to make a mock 9-square patch.

I then cut the 9-patch block down the center, both vertically & horizontally.

I put together random blocks, flipping them and trying to keep seams from meeting other seams…

Putting different fabrics together is what makes it fun.
The look I was going for was a totally random, unplanned look.

Sewing the squares together and then the strips went quickly.
I enjoyed the bright fabrics.  I love blues.

Here’s a closer look…

Now, all I have to do is hand quilt it!
I picture evenings on the couch, while “watching” TV…

Have fun quilting,
or, if you don’t quilt,
enjoy the warmth of a cozy quilt.
