Daisy Chain in Unicorn Dreams

 Today I get to share this beautiful new Daisy Chain quilt finish with you featuring the oh so adorable Unicorn Dreams Collection  by Ginger Deverell for Poppie Cotton!!   Daisy Chain is a pattern that was designed based on my mom's love of making flower chain necklaces in the fields of Kent, where she grew up.  It is one of my newest patterns and I am so excited to be sharing this soft version of it today!!!  

This Daisy Chain Quilt is so much fun to make and it is Fat Quarter Friendly so you can just grab a bundle and add your background fabric. Aren't the prints in this Unicorn Dreams Collection just so great!!  I love the soft colors, and they perfectly divided up into Leaf Fat Quarters, Bloom Fat Quarters, and Petal Fat Quarters :)  And because there is so much background space in this quilt (I love the secondary starburst in the background) I decided to use this wonderful Blooms and Berries Canyon Tan print in the background to add some zing in all that space ;)   That is the great thing about lots of negative space, you can really have fun with your background and don't have to worry about your prints getting lost!

 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 nest everything, so you get beautiful circles all around!!  And the block goes together pretty quick once you have all your units made, so fun ;)   

The  Daisy Chain Pattern  uses a  Modified Drunkards Path  block which allows you to create those perfect circles.    There is a paper template in the pattern but I highly recommend the acrylic templates for making cutting so much easier :)   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!!  

Barbara did the quilting and piecing on this one.   And her quilting is just oh so cute!!  She quilted all of the negative space in echoed curls and the quilted figure eights in the leaves and feathers in the flowers.   This really makes the design pop in this quilt and adds so much amazing texture.  Love it!! 

 The Daisy Chain Pattern, like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the lap size, but you can make it from a baby size all the way to a king size ;) 

And that is the new Daisy Chain Quilt! I hope you have enjoyed this post and consider making your own  Daisy Chain Quilt!!! And if you do, I would love to see them!
