I'm excited to share my recent finish finish for my new granddaughter (due to arrive May 17th)! We had a 'Sprinkle' for my daughter today where I presented the quilt to her. She was thrilled with how it turned out.
My daughter picked the pattern (Fresh as a Daisy by Linsey @PenandPaperPatterns) which I already owned (and previously made) as well as the color scheme. I did not show her my progress while I sewed to keep a bit of surprise for her.
I named this quilt Simple and Sweet. The pattern is very enjoyable to stitch and the daisies are just so cheerful! They can't help but bring a smile to your face!
I changed the layout slightly from Lindsey's baby layout by shifting the columns up or down to get a finished quilt 43.5" x 52.5".
The background color is Kona Seafoam, the daisies and binding is Kona Snow, and the flower centers are Kona Yarrow, Kona Daffodil and Kona Mustard.
I pieced the backing with large strips of the 3 Kona yellows
and the Kona Seafoam. I also pieced an additional daisy into the back.
meander with matching green thread.
Although I couldn't find daisies, this photo makes me happy!

ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! Love, love, LOVE everything about Simple and Sweet. I remember your last version, and this one is just perfect. Daisies are happy-looking and it does make me smile. And, it makes me want to make a version of this myself. Good luck to your daughter and Freya Ruth. She will be covered and surrounded by your love! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
