Cottage Love Throw Quilt in Daisy Fields!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today I am sharing this charming Cottage Love quilt with you in calming blue, teal, and gold colors.  The fabric collection is Daisy Fields by Riley Blake, and as you can see from the pictures, is perfect for Cottage Love!

Cottage Love is a quick and easy pattern with a scalloped edge created around the sides of the quilt.  The pattern includes many quilt sizes.

The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


The Cottage Love Quilt Pattern


The Cottage Love quilt pattern is quick and easy and includes many quilt sizes and is very precut friendly.  If the pressing instructions included in the pattern are followed, the majority of the seams nest in the entire quilt top, so quilt top assembly is a breeze!  This is the perfect pattern to just sit down and sew without a lot of fuss or cutting.


All the Sizes Included


Cottage Love includes a total of 7 sizes.  Sizes included in the instructions are:

  • Baby
  • Lap
  • Throw
  • Large Throw
  • Twin
  • Queen
  • King


A Great Beginner Friendly Pattern


Cottage Love is a terrific beginner-friendly quilt pattern, especially if you use precuts as there is minimal cutting to do in this case.  This is a perfect design if you are looking to get some more experience under your needle.  Those of you who are intermediate and experts, you will find that you will enjoy sewing this beautiful design as well.

The Cottage Love quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Precut and Fat Quarter Friendly Quilt Pattern


This pattern is perfect for using 5" charm squares, 10" layer cake squares, or fat quarters.  It truly is stash friendly!  You can also use your scrap bins since none of the fabrics need to be duplicated, so you won't have to worry about having enough of a print.


Daisy Fields Fabrics


The fabric collection featured in this quilt is Daisy Fields from Riley Blake Designs.  It's a really lovely collection of blue, teals, and gold with crisp white.  Prints are daisies, hexagons, dots, gingham, text, and tone-on-tones.

The blue gingham backing and binding on the quilt is also from the Daisy Fields Collection.

One of the main reasons why I decided to branch out and create a Facebook group for Busy Hands Quilts is because I love getting the opportunity to interact with you all and seeing your creativity flourish with my patterns.  I feel like a real community is blossoming in this group and I am ever so grateful for all of you who are helping make that happen!

Seeing all of the talent that you all possess shouldn't go unnoticed.  So I want to show some of the finished quilts people have shared in the Facebook group.  I hope seeing the work of others inspire more people to create quilts in my patterns and encourages you to take a look at the Busy Hands Quilts Facebook Group to see other eye-catching quilts by customers!

Finished Quilt by Brenda

This colorful masterpiece was made by Brenda Scinto in the Around the World quilt pattern for a family member.  This was done in all Moda grunge colors to match their floor rug.  Brenda also took the time to create matching pillow shams.  What a brilliant idea!

Around the World quilt pattern is entirely strip pieced and available in 4 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, and Queen.  This design is a great way to use up your stash!  Just choose 10 coordinating fabrics and a splash of bold contrast.

Finished Quilt by Dallas

This darling finished quilt was made by Dallas Debell in the Make It Scrappy quilt pattern.  Dallas mentioned that her friend worked her longarm magic, which she says helps make her quilts look great.  I couldn't agree with you more Dallas! You and your friend both did a stunning job and I love your choice in colors!  Backing is flannel.  She also added an extra edge by binding with the black and white dot fabric.

Make It Scrappy is a charm square or layer cake friendly quilt pattern.  The pattern is available in 6 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  This design is not only stunning, it's also quick and easy to make!  So grab your favorite precuts or simply cut the number of squares in the size indicated in the pattern, add in a dashing sashing fabric and a boarder and voila!  You're all set!

If you thought the first quilt by Dallas was something, take a look at her other finished quilt using the Oh Happy Day quilt pattern.  Made mostly from scraps, Dallas did an exceptional job with showing what having scraps set aside can really do!  I love the use of floral scraps.  They give this quilt a spring-time feel, which I am obsessed about!

Oh Happy Day is a gorgeous multi-sized quick and easy fat quarter quilt pattern.  You will love the large pieces that go together quickly and make such a darling design.  Includes 6 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.

For a truly scrappy quilt pattern, use a wide variety of colors and prints for your fat quarters.  If you're wanting a more organized quilt, use coordinating colors and prints.

The Oh Happy Day quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
