Daffodil Parade

March’s flower is the daffodil. This 15 1/2” x 30 1/2” wallhanging doesn’t only have daffodils on the embroidered design… the pieced star blocks look like daffodils too! Time to snuggle up in the quilt on the back of this vintage truck to watch the parade! I wonder who the daffodil princesses are this year?
