New Happy Quilting Pattern : Daisy Chain!!!

 Today I get to share a new Happy Quilting Pattern and Quilt and I am just so excited!!!   Here is Daisy Chain!!!   This one is for my mom, who grew up in the fields of Kent making daisy chain necklaces.   I have had this design in mind since clear back when I made it as an applique design for my first book, and now, it is all about the curved piecing.  And I just love it!!  

The  Daisy Chain Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version.  And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format.    And yes, this is a quilt that uses curves, so I highly recommend picking up a set of Modified Drunkards Path Templates, (which are also marked down to $6.50 :)  while you are at the shop to cut out the curved pieces.  There is a paper template in the pattern but the acrylic templates are just so nice :)   And these are the same templates used for my Nordic Nights, Blossoming Stars, and Flower Child Patterns, so if you already have the templates for any of those patterns you are all set!!  

 Daisy Chain is an intermediate skill level pattern, mostly just due to the nature of curved piecing!!     But once you get the three pin curved method down, you will be flying through them.  The quilt is made with full blocks and sashing pieces to create the chain.   And the great thing, the pressing allows you to next everything, so you get beautiful circles all around!!  And the block goes together pretty quick once you have all your units made, so fun ;)     

This version of  Daisy Chain is made with Collections for a Cause: Essence by Howard Marcus for Moda and is the picnic size.  This line comes out in November and I was so lucky to get to piece a sample of it for my friends at Moda to share at H and H and then add it to their quilt shop tours!    The original version shown on the pattern uses the 3 Sisters Favorites Lines!!   I will have it all finished up soon to share.  (it is just waiting for some custom quilting ;)  And yes, I am all about the purple daisies in this quilt, in all the versions, I just love it so much!!    The quilt is Fat Quarter Friendly, so you can grab a bundle and get cutting!!!

I quilted this version of  Daisy Chain with a whole lot of custom quilting. For the print fabrics, I quilted basic feathers in the leaves, echoed feathers in the petals and pebbles in the bloom.  And the background gets lots and lots of movement with echoed paisleys and swirls.       I just love all of the beautiful texture it added to the quilt and how it really makes the design just pop!!    

Daisy Chain like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)   The original I will be sharing soon is in the queen size.    The pattern has 6 size options :  Baby, Child, Lap, Picnic, Queen and King.     

And that is my new  Daisy Chain quilt and Pattern!!!       And I am just so happy to share it with all of you!!!   I really think you are just going to love making this quilt ;)   And of course,  if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;)  And when you make your Daisy Chain Quilts I would love to see them!!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
