Is this a cheery quilt, or what?! It reminds me of when Meg Ryan's character in "
You've Got Mail" says to Tom Hank's character, "... don't you think that daisies are the friendliest flower?"
I received this quilt top [57" x 69"] to machine quilt. When I took the pressed top from the zippered garment bag and spread it out on the work table, it just made me smile. The golden orange and teal blue [complementary] color scheme gives it just the right amount of zing. And it has a perfect balance of patterns in the fabrics: a plaid, two small prints, a pin dot and a solid.
The appliqued "daisy" flowers were outline quilted to give them dimension and the rest of the quilt was free-motion stitched with leaves, vines and an occasional flower.
When I asked my client to whom she was giving this quilt, she said, "I may just keep this one for myself." I hope she does.
