I was looking for something else, and came across a picture of a quilt called "dancing daffodils", a Mountain Mist pattern (early 40's?). I then spent untold hours looking for a place to purchase that pattern, but no luck. If the pattern is this old, I doubt that anyone would have the actual pattern. Does anyone know perhaps of a book that it may be printed in, so I can buy it?
Thanks for any help.

Here is a place where there is information along with a photo of the pattern. Maybe you could enlarge it somehow.
Mountain Mist #24 just scan down the page a bit.

This is a long shot but I have a small yellow book from about 30 years ago that has a black and white line drawing of the pattern with this text...24-Dancing Daffofils (72 X90) Dancing Dafodills is an original Mountain Mist pattern that glorifies the loveliest of spring flowers,with Wadsworth's poem " The Daffofils" as its inspiration. This is on page 15 of the booklet and in the front of the booklet it states...All items or patterns appearing in this book may be purchased through: Creative Quilting Center

I would post a picture of the Dancing Daffodils drawing but I think that would be a copywrite infringement.

The pattern is in the book Mountain Mist Favorites. If you search for the book on Amazon you will see dancing daffodils listed in the table of contents. You can use the isbn number in a google search to find a used copy (there is one for sale on Amazon, but may be others elsewhere).

Many untold hours searching where? It came right up using Google and Bing.

People have varying skills using internet searches. If members here are willing to help them search, then everyone benefits from seeing the quilt or pattern in question.

Aside from varying levels of search skills, internet connections vary from one part of the country to another. Those of us with fast internet access can conduct searches much faster than those with slow internet connections. That slowness also seems to affect how search results turn up. I have been able to find things for people on Google searches that they could not, even with the same search parameters. Because the internet is a network of connections, meaning that everyone uses a different path to get results from a question, some of us will get a lot more "hits" than others.
