I finished the daisy wall hanging. I adapted a design from a pattern in the National Quilting Assn. magazine. 20" x 20".
It will be presented to the outgoing president of the P.E.O. Lake County Round Table in appreciation for her six years in office. The P.E.O. flower is the marguerite, or daisy, and there were seven founders.
I've made crumb-pieced backgrounds for several projects and I like the effect.
This is one of my OMGs for February.
Linking up with Alycia's Finished or Not Friday and Wendy's Peacock Party and Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?
Nann, that is beautiful! It will be a lovely gift. I like crumb pieced backgrounds for applique, too - all that yellow is perfect for the daisies!
ReplyDeleteYour crumb pieced background is perfect for this delightful little quilt! Something I'd like to try if I ever get around to doing applique again.
ReplyDeleteI love a crumby background for applique. I did that once in a class (Pat Sloan, I think) and love that the focus goes to the applique.
ReplyDeleteThe life in the background and the leaves adds so much interest without taking away from the daisies. Lovely job!
ReplyDeleteAn early spring bouquet and the background is great. Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteI’m a big fan of crumb pieced backgrounds too! I especially like the daisies! My youngest granddaughter is named Shasta! I’ve done dais for herb in the past! <3
ReplyDeletePretty daisy wall hanging! So spring-ish, love the scrappy yellow background.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome - so cheerful and says SPRING! I have done scrappy backgrounds on a couple of wall hangings, and like the depth it provides. - - Sara
ReplyDeleteReal cute. Nann...
ReplyDeletePretty! And the yellow is so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. Love the scrappy background. I am a big fan of improv pieced backgrounds. They add such richness. I am sure that the recipient will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful and pretty gift! You did a great job, love that sunny yellow background.
ReplyDeleteLove the daisies
ReplyDeleteI love those daisies. And that background idea is wonderful. What a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. It turns out I like flowers in small small quilts.
