Make 20 daisies in Turquoise with Royal Blue centers, however on the Turquoise daisies the side facing you as you sew the center will be used as the right side so be sure to work all ends in neatly.

TO MAKE CIRCLE: With Olive Green, sc in end of petal (go through the 2 loops of petal), * ch 2, sc in next petal; repeat from * around, ending ch 2, join with a sl st to first sc. Fasten off.

TO ASSEMBLE: Alternating the color of daisy, with Olive Green join each daisy at one st with a sc (center it at the 6th and 12th petal) until 10 daisies are joined. Make 1 more strip of 10 in the same color arrangement and 2 more strips of 10 in the alternate color arrangement. Join the 4 strips tog in the same manner, making sure to alternate color of daisy. From wrong side, fold in half and join side daisies leaving the upper 2 rows free to be tacked to lining at opening. With wrong side facing, sew Indian-Head tog with ¼″ seams, rounding corners at bottom and leaving 3½″ open at each side. Assemble felt in the same manner, leaving 4¼″ open at top. Cut press-on material to fit and press on to felt. Fold felt 1″ at top edge to wrong side and machine st in place. With wrong sides facing, slip Indian-Head into felt and blind st in place (lining slightly smaller than felt). Pull daisies over felt and tack at top of side seams and top of bag. Slip bars of handle through top bands and fasten ends.
