Sunkissed Daisy Quilt

I got a Sunkissed charm pack for Chirstmas from my sister. I loved the fabric and was excited to make an awesome quilt. But I made some... well, interesting decisions on this quilt, and - for a while - I wasn't sure if I would like the finished product.

At first, I didn't, but I added a few fun little flowers (seriously, Dresdens save everything...) and now, I really like how it turned out. It's very happy, sunny, and very cheery! So here it is - my Sunkissed Daisy Quilt:

I love the orange fabric. Really fun, and happy!

I used a white backgroud with words, and of course, my signature stripe. The back and front really don't... match, exactly, but I really like both the front and the back, so it's okay.

For now, it's going in the shop. But, if it doesn't sell, I do have something in mind for this one. We shall see!

Waste not, want not...

This is what happens when you have leftovers in AWESOME fabric. I had a few strips left over from each jelly roll strip from Amber's Giddy quilt. About a foot of each. I knew those alone wouldn't make very much, but I also had a tOn of cream colored fabric in my stash. So, I decided to make a little chain quilt. I decided that I would make as many nine-patches as I could with the left over strips, and the leftover yardage I had. I didn't think it would end up very big, but I ended up with a lot of nine patches. And with plain squares in between... it ended up being big enough for a twin size bed!!!

I finished the chain top, and as I looked over it, I decided that it needed something... it haunted me. It needed something. So, I went and picked up another Giddy charm pack and made an applique panel with my new favorite thing in the quilting world - Dresden plates. They were a shocking amount of work, but so worth it!! They turned out SO cute!!! I am thrilled to death with the end result:


I just love these Dresden Plates!!! They aren't perfect, but I still love them!!!

I went with pink on the back. I couldn't help myself. It makes me happy!

I cut out one of the rows of nine-patches for the applique panel (I didn't want the quilt to be too long), so I put it on the back. I love how it looks!

I just love this quilt!! But I am at a loss with what to do with it. It would look cute on the princess's bed, but she already has a quilt that I made her on it. I have a hard time keeping quilts without having a purpose for it... but I don't know if I can part with this one. So, do I keep it for no apparent reason? Do I put it up for sale, and cry if someone buys it? What would you do?

See, it would look cute on a little girls bed!!! Love those Dresdens all in a row!
