    Default Can you help me find....

    Several years ago I ran across a quilt that had been made for a charity event in Australia. The quilt was very abstract 'daisy' looking flowers. They were (if I remember correctly) all teal with one orange one on the side row. It could have been the other way around though. I fell in love with this quilt but couldn't find any info on it. I had saved the picture but I believe in my frustration of not being able to find anything out about it I deleted the picture from my hard drive or it is on an older hard drive that I can't find. Might someone here know what I am talking about?

    Was it the Happy Daisy pattern that many have posted on QB?

    Have you googled "abstract daisy quilts" in google images?
    Or maybe this one: https://www.google.com/search?site=&...37.jPMaecdRqC4

    No, I say very abstract daisy but maybe I should refer to these flowers as more of a burst from the center in an outward motion. I am talking VERY abstract.
    Thanks for the suggestion!

    I think your best bet is to Google different combinations: "australia daisy quilt", "australian blue teal quilt", "australia charity quilt", etc. and click on "images" to see if you can spot the quilt you are thinking of. If it wasn't in a magazine, its photo may have been specific to the charity event.

    Thank you everyone who had advice.

    I found it. So...I have a real issue with saving old laptops that are on their last leg. This is why. After staying up forever I found the image on the laptop that I had originally saved it to. I remember finding it on a quilting blog with very little or no information and saving it so one day in the future I could hopefully find more information about it. My search will begin now. lol

    Awesome that you found it! Will you be making one similar? It's really cute! I saved the side pieces from the tumbler blocks on a recent quilt I made and they look pretty much like this. I thought about doing something like it and now I can see how. I think mine are skinnier though, I wonder if it would work? Does anyone know if raw edge quilts hold up? I think I'd be afraid to wash it. Please post a pic if you make this ok? I want to know what to do with my pieces.

    Oh I love that. I can't tell you how to make it. Now I will have to add this to my bucket list. I thought I had something similar on Pintrest but I just looked and it isn't there. Good luck in your search and I look forward to seeing the completed project.
