Dear Daisy Fabric by Heather Briggs

Dear Daisy by Heather Briggs

Dear Daisy by Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life for Moda Fabrics is a tender celebration of childhood, wildflowers, and the simple beauty of daisies.

Heather drew inspiration from long, sun-filled afternoons spent running through fields, picking daisies, making flower crowns and daisy chains, and sharing the kinds of dreams and secrets that belong to childhood.

The result is soft, feminine, nostalgic, and unmistakably Heather Briggs.

Daisies, Wildflowers and Childhood Memories

Dear Daisy isn't simply a collection of floral prints.

There's a story behind the flowers.

Imagine wandering through a meadow with daisies gathered in your hands.

Making a flower crown.

Linking stems together into a daisy chain.

Pulling petals one by one for a game of “he loves me, he loves me not.”

Dear Daisy captures those fleeting moments when summer afternoons seemed endless and something as simple as a flower could become part of an entire imaginary world.

That sense of innocence gives the collection its personality.

Sweet Daisy and Floral Fabrics

Naturally, flowers are at the heart of Dear Daisy.

Look for daisies, small florals, tossed flowers, ditsy prints, and other delicate botanical designs throughout the collection.

The different scales are particularly useful for quilting.

Larger or more noticeable florals can become focal fabrics, while smaller daisies and ditsy prints remain visible when cut into patchwork pieces.

Soft Pastel Colors

Dear Daisy has a wonderfully gentle color palette.

Look for colors such as Cloud, Buttercup, Sunshine, Apricot, Blossom, Blush, Peach, Carnation, Petal, Sprout, and Grass.

Soft pinks and peaches bring warmth.

Buttercup and Sunshine add cheerful yellow.

Sprout and Grass provide fresh meadow greens.

Cloud offers a light neutral that allows the floral colors to shine.

Together, the colors feel fresh and feminine without becoming overly sugary—a beautiful palette for quilts, patchwork, bags, table runners, baby projects, and handmade gifts.

Ditsy Florals and Tossed Prints

Small-scale prints are one of Heather Briggs' strengths.

Dear Daisy includes delicate motifs that can be cut into relatively small patchwork pieces while still retaining their character.

That's especially useful for traditional quilt blocks where a large-scale print might disappear once cut.

Use Dear Daisy ditsies and tossed florals in:

• stars

• nine-patches

• four-patches

• half-square triangles

• flying geese

• log cabins

• chains

• scrappy blocks

• borders

• bindings

These little prints can be supporting characters—or become the entire quilt.

Gingham, Stripes and Tonal Coordinates

The flowers may tell the Dear Daisy story, but the ginghams, stripes, tonals, and other coordinating prints are what make the collection so easy to sew with.

A gingham can add structure beside a loose floral.

A stripe can introduce direction and movement.

A subtle tonal can provide a visual resting place between busier prints.

Use these coordinates to separate florals, define blocks, create borders and bindings, or simply introduce more variety into patchwork.

A Little Cheetah Print

Dear Daisy even includes an unexpected touch of cheetah-inspired print.

That's a fun contrast to all the sweetness.

Animal-inspired spots bring a little personality and visual texture into the collection without abandoning its soft color story.

Mix the cheetah print beside daisies, ginghams, and stripes for patchwork that feels playful rather than predictable.

It's one of those details that gives Dear Daisy a little wink.

Dear Daisy 31809-11 Panel

Dear Daisy 31809-11 Cloud is the coordinating panel for the collection.

Panels offer a different way to work with a fabric collection because the printed artwork can remain intact rather than being cut into small patchwork pieces.

Use the Dear Daisy panel as inspiration for quilts, wall hangings, pillows, bags, or other creative projects.

You can also combine sections of a panel with pieced blocks made from the coordinating Dear Daisy yardage.

Dear Daisy Precuts

Dear Daisy is available in a wonderful assortment of precut formats, making it easy to experience the collection in different ways.

Look for:

Fat Quarter Bundle – 36 Fat Quarters plus the coordinating panel

Fat Eighth Bundle – 36 Fat Eighths

Jelly Roll – 40 precut 2.5" strips

Layer Cake – 42 precut 10" squares

Charm Pack – 42 precut 5" squares

Mini Charm Pack – 42 precut 2.5" squares

Choose the format that works with your pattern—or choose your favorite precut first and then find a project designed around it.

Dear Daisy for Patchwork Quilts

Dear Daisy and patchwork are a natural combination.

The collection gives you the variety traditional patchwork benefits from: florals in different scales, directional stripes, ginghams, tonal coordinates, spots, and plenty of color variation.

That means neighboring pieces can contrast while still looking like they belong together.

Make an orderly block quilt or embrace a softer scrappy appearance by mixing many Dear Daisy prints throughout the project.

Make Dear Daisy with a Heather Briggs Pattern

Here's where Dear Daisy becomes even more interesting.

Heather Briggs isn't only the fabric designer—she is also the quilt pattern designer behind My Sew Quilty Life.

That gives you the opportunity to pair a Heather Briggs fabric collection with a pattern created by the very same designer.

Heather's patterns and fabrics share a common design language, making them a particularly natural pairing.

Dear Daisy Woven Labels

A handmade quilt deserves a finishing touch.

Dear Daisy Woven Labels coordinate with the collection and can be added to quilts, bags, pouches, and other handmade projects.

A woven label is a small detail, but it can give a finished project a polished appearance and provide a lovely final touch when you're sewing a gift.

Use one to finish a Dear Daisy quilt or save the labels for other projects that share the collection's sweet, handmade aesthetic.

Dear Daisy Zipper Charm

The Dear Daisy Zipper Charm gives you another fun way to carry the collection beyond quilts.

Add it to a zippered pouch, project bag, tote, notions case, or other handmade accessory.

Pair the zipper charm with Dear Daisy fabrics for a completely coordinated project, or use it as a small decorative detail on another favorite bag.

It's especially fun if you're making one of Heather Briggs' bag patterns from My Sew Quilty Life.

Dear Daisy for Bags and Small Projects

Dear Daisy doesn't have to become a large quilt.

The combination of pretty florals, ginghams, stripes, tonals, panel artwork, woven labels, and a coordinating zipper charm makes this collection especially appealing for smaller sewing projects.

Try it for:

• project bags

• zippered pouches

• totes

• pillows

• wall hangings

• table runners

• placemats

• cosmetic bags

• sewing accessories

• handmade gifts

Small projects are also a wonderful way to use leftover Dear Daisy fabric after finishing a quilt.
