A lot of the quilts I make start off by accident. That’s what happened with the Daydream sampler from Quilter’s World.

I do a monthly Facebook Live for Quilter’s World.** I brainstorm a few topic ideas for each one, and together we settle on that month’s focus. A few months back, I thought it would be fun to show how I would make the Daydream sampler with lots and lots of different fabrics.

I think I will do something special with the border. Stay tuned for that. So here is how this quilt was conceived.
