Sunny Sunflowers

May 6, 2022

I have some sunny sunflowers to share with you today. Earlier this week, Vicki of Vicki’s Crafts and Quilting released her Welcome the Sunflowers pattern. You can see her post about the release here. Vicki asked me to test the pattern for her, and I thoroughly enjoyed making these sunny sunflowers! Here’s my version, ready for me to hand stitch the binding. 

My version of Welcome the Sunflowers, a new pattern from Vicki's Crafts and Quilting - piecefulthoughts.com

Since my background fabric was a solid cream color, I decided to have a little fun and added a plaid quilting design using yellow and green thread. Here’s a closer view.

Once the quilting was complete, I added the sunflowers. I fused them on with SoftFuse, starting with the stems and leaves. I used a straight stitch on the stems and leaves, then used a zig zag stitch on the flowers. 

Once I had the binding stitched down, I hung it up in my kitchen, and was surprised at how well it matched.

I thought you might get a chuckle out of this picture, with my Christmas quilt still hanging in my living room. I’ll get it changed out one of these days! 

The Welcome the Sunflowers pattern is available for 25% off in Vicki’s Etsy Shop until May 10th, so hope over to Vicki’s Crafts and Quilting to grab a copy. You’ll enjoy making this one! 

Happy Friday, all!
