A Little Birdie Told Me... that daisies and dots are where it's at!

Every once in a while a collection comes along that gets you really really excited... 

  

...for me this is one of those collections!!!

  

daisies & dots is designed by piece of cake designs

you know... becky & linda.... the amazing queens of appliqué!

  

   

The debut fabric collection by Piece O’ Cake Designs from Robert Kaufman features three bright & cheery colorstories, a trademark of Piece O’ Cake’s popular look. Playful dots in all shapes and sizes create an overall retro feel, while sweet & whimsical florals add a feminine touch.

  

Piece O’ Cake Designs is owned and operated by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins. The pair first met in 1986 at a quilter’s guild meeting, and since then have become especially known for their appliqué designs. Becky and Linda are also top selling authors for C&T Publishing. Their quilt books and patterns can be found in a variety of places: at local quilt shops, on many quilting websites, from C&T Publishing, at many book stores, and on the Piece O’ Cake website.

I love this line!!! So bright and fun......

[Ann]

Oh and I want your Circle Around quilt that you made with the chocolate kona crush - I LOVE IT!!!!!

[Lizzy]

I like the yellow daisies with the turquoise center best. I could sure use a "roll up" of this.

[Becky]

Very pretty! I think my favorite are the big dots. And really love that magenta! Love the circle around. I'm working in my first one, I love seeing I in so many different fabrics, it's so versatile!

[liveacolorfullife]

The dots, of course!!

[Sherri]

Love this...think my fav print is the one you love...the flowers and ribbons will make great blenders too!

[KarrieLyne]

My favourite? **grabs them all and runs** :D

I really love the tiny daisies...the green and the teal...and the smaller dots...in the teal and magenta though. :)

January is so far away...

Love your CA quilt, again! So versatile!

[Audrie]

Umm I have decided that January is too far away! I LOVE anything with daisies or dots, so this is making me smile! I love the giant dots and the big daisy prints. Very very cute! Can't wait :)

[Vicki]

I really like the blues....and of course with some of the greens in as well. I like them all actually but like the blues most as they are so fresh looking. Cant wait for them to be available :)

[Angela]

oooh - fun! I love the pink/green group. The large green flower print is my favorite I think.

[Mary on Lake Pulaski]

Love what you're doing with Daisies and Dots Julie! I like the small turquoise dot and the large red daisies, but they are all pretty cute.

[Mama Jane]

It seems like that circle quilt looks good in every fabric line! Julie, do you ever sleep?

[Mary Ann]

The Flowers in the bubbles...in the green and blue. I love the circle round! I am so hoping to get going on Dr. Seuss this weekend! But I may end up working on a Fall project from 2 yrs ago...thats my pledge, one new, one old. And I am trying! Oh and I'm going to pull together Iraqi bundle too!

[Marcia W.]

My favorite fabric is the dots (brown?) sashing on the quilt with the appliqued border. Pieceocake always has great dot fabric designs. Thanks for this informative review.

[Donna]

Love, love, love the line. I especially adore the daisies - large and small. The colors are crisp and fresh. The blues are beautiful.

[duff]

Thank you! This will make it easy to stop buying fabric now, knowing that this line will be available just after Christmas. I can hardly wait! I love all of it, but especially the dots. Oh, my mind is reeling!

[ursula]

daisies and dots? all my faves. i love them all, but the bubbles call my name.

[ferne]

I like the giant dots. They remind me a Dr. Suess book that was my favorite as a kid...can't remember the name...I am working on a quilt for my son and his future wife. They are getting married on Halloween so I have a fall theme going on in the quilt and am quite happy with it.

RE: Mama Jane
do you ever sleep?

I do!! that's why the circle around quilt isn't done yet! ;-)

[Pat]

Love the big red daisies! Working on nursing cover-ups for my daughters and lotsa cute stuff for new granddaughters!

[Ellen]

I love the red in the bubbles and the small daisies & dots at the end. In red, they both have a classic bandana feel but in a fresh & up to date pattern. I'm collecting jeans for a denim lapquilt or picnic quilt & I'm thinking the red bubbles would make a great backing!

[quilting mom]

WOW! This is just such a cool line of fabrics! I can't wait until January!

[Holly K]

I love the blue and green flowers!! They are all great!! I'm working on finishing a quilt for our local quilt festival next weekend...I think I missed the deadline today so maybe I'm just working on finshing a quilt finally!! Yeah for finished projects!!! I have many lined up as nexts...

[Leena]

I have always been such a fan for bright colours and these are really yummy! And the variety of designs scale is just too awesome to pass! I think (for now) I just love the blue colorstory....and I might just add to my favourite of green when I look more and more of it! Thanks for the review and the pics Julie!

[Rene]

i love this collection!
