The theme for this year’s Utah State Fair Quilt Challenge is
“Whoopsy-Daisy.” The fabric all the contestants had to use is called Daisy Fields
by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake – little white daisies and tiny gold dots
on a field of denim blue. It’s probably been out of print for over a year; at
least I’ve found it devilishly hard to come by. I figured with a theme like, “Whoopsy-Daisy,”
this quilt should include a deliberate mistake. So, I designed one. It shouldn’t
be too hard to spot. I’d originally planned to stitch together a dozen or so of
my favorite books by different authors. But this year, I was asked to play in
the orchestra for Seussical the Musical. So, nearly all summer long, I had
Horton the Elephant, Green Eggs and Ham, Gertrude McFuzz and the Cat in the Hat
playing non-stop in my head. There really was no other way to go.
