This is a photo of my Sunflower Quilt top that I was working on that weekend. I was putting on and machine appliqueing my sunflowers. The quilt is still just the top as I have not sandwiched it yet. It is made of all sunflower prints. I cut strips of different widths, straight and wonky. I learned that the thinest strips made should not be any thinner than 1"!!! Lesson learned! I sewed the strips all together and cut 8 1/2" blocks out of them, and sewed them together as shown in the photo. Once I get the baby quilts 1 (quilted and I need to hand-sew the binding now) & 2 (needs sandwiching, etc), and the 25th anniversary wall-quilt done, I can finish this one up!!!I tell you people, "This blogging IS keeping me to task!" 8-)

I love your Sunflower Quilt! I seem to have a collection of sunflower fabrics too, but haven't thought much about how to use them. There just might be a sunflower quilt in my future... ;-) And you are so right about blogging keeping you on task! LOL ;-)
Happy Stitching!
