Wasn't planning on joining soscrappy’s RSC 2024 but then I saw a block designed by Lori Holt from Bee in My Bonnet and thought it would be a good one to use.
Lori’s block - Daisy Chain - is one that she designed for a Riley Blake Quilt Along back in 2022. The link takes you to all the patterns for that project.
The Daisy Chain block comes in 10” (too small - didn’t fancy chopping up 1.5” squares) or 20” (too big for me but maybe it’s meant to be a centre block in a quilt).
She has YouTube tutorial here https://youtu.be/IqTk87J6bP8?si=kcTG4-Oi0jyk_V_d.
I also changed one of the fabric prints to a plain because I just don’t have the variety of fabrics to make a copy of Lori’s version but that’s okay.
So this is a 16” inch block and will be sashed, quilted and then joined with the others to be made over the year. If I don’t have enough of a particular colour one month, I’ll make a harlequin block instead. I usually make a few of these as I prefer a square quilt to a rectangular one - so I’ll need 16 blocks in total.
Now I plan to make some of Lori’s design boards. They’ve been around for a while but I think I’ll give them a try.
Happy Stitching!
Beautiful block! Lori always has such well-written instructions and beautiful fabric, her projects are hard to resist. (Even if my fabrics aren't always as pretty.) And it looks like you're back to quilting again - hooray!
