INSPIRATION FOR DAY DREAMER QUILT

I was lucky to discover this book, ‘Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns‘ full of traditional quilt blocks that are not copyrighted.  That means anyone can use these blocks to design a quilt.

After flipping through the hundreds of pages, I narrowed down on this one design you can see circled here.  It was my inspiration for the Day Dreamer quilt block.

Compare the circled image above with my final Day Dreamer Quilt Block, shown below.  

This is what I designed in EQ8.  I love seeing the inspiration and how it morphed into what is now the Day Dreamer Quilt.

FIRST RELEASE of DAY DREAMER QUILT

The Day Dreamer Quilt was first released to the Quilters Candy Membership.  I like to share my new patterns with my membership before I open them to the public.  Here are some photos of the different version some of the Quilters Candy Members made.

Pattern Testers

After releasing the pattern as a mini for the Membership, I wanted to a have some full size quilts, as well.  Here are the full size quilts my testers made.
