daisy days {some progress}


Remember my daisy day quilt...



... the one I started way way back *sigh* in May 2015
using Meredithe's templates



It's been one of those WiP's that I've found nice to just pop back & forth on 
- I get inspired, I sew, I take a break, I get inspired, I sew, etc.



A great scrappy combination of some of my favourite florals and assorted low volume fabrics
{And I found an amazing tutorial for piecing those y-seams over here}




Well, these blocks are finally making it into a quilt top this week!










More pics soon
Linking up this week with Cynthia for 'oh scrap' here
'moving it forward' over here at em' s scrapbag
and with 'Scraptastic Tuesday' here at mrsssewandsow

Congratulations on getting your blocks all the way to a quilt top! That is mostly how I sew, too - just depends on what is inspiring me at the moment! Your daisy blocks are so pretty - they're going to make a happy quilt!

Have fun Linda - these blocks are so cute and the quilt is going to be gorgeous!! (That's a comprehensive tutorial on Y-seams!!)

Thanks Diann. Nothing like a good scrappy quilt to make one smile!
I’m getting all enthus’ed with this again, especially now it’s coming together so well.

What a fun project!! I love all the fabrics you are using and the sashing is perfect for adding more pretty prints into the mix.

Cathy said...

Your eclectic mix of fabrics makes for an awesome quilt. I like the idea of different fabrics for sashing.

You have a great collection of fabrics in these daisies and I love how you're setting them together using an assortment of tiny prints.

Nancy said...

I love, love, love these blocks with the beautiful fabrics you used. They are vibrant and fun. And I can see that you've chosen gorgeous fabrics for the sashing, too. I can't wait to see the whole quilt, Linda!

P.S. There are some quilts that I just wish I'd made -- and this is one of them!

Nifty Quilts said...

This is so wonderful in those old-fashioned fabrics!!

Kaja said...

Nothing like a really good scrappy quilt to lift the spirits! What a lovely selection of fabrics.

Linda @ kokaquilts said...

Thank you so much Nancy!
It’s turning out to be quite a scrappy traditional style of quilt, which is a nice change!
And I’m enjoying this again now, especially as it’s all going together so well... so far! I think setting the blocks all ‘’on point’ seems to add a bit more interest too!
Forget the housework... the groceries... I’m going to keep sewing today:)
