Inspiration Starter–Old Quilt, New Tote

I acquired an old quilt with the Missouri Daisy pattern a few years ago. It was in very sad shape but the pattern intrigued me since we had recently moved to Missouri from Iowa. I managed to salvage several blocks for potential repurposing, but no clear plan.

I cut apart the blocks, covered with a gray tulle ready for embellishment in combination with an ice dyed home dec fabric. Add some fusible batting, a little quilting with decorative thread and a new tote is ready to use. Smaller blocks from those cutter quilts could be used for the quickie zipper bags or even as a center medallion of a new quilt.
