It’s no secret that Sunflowers are my fave! So, when an audience member reached out asking if I would include one in the series, my answer was an instant YES! Let’s take a look at this weeks design, the Sunflower Quilt Block.
There is something about Sunflowers that instantly draws in you but in a totally casual way. They are by far, my go-to flower! I buy them in bunches and share them with friends instead of other more popular flowers.
When the girls were young, hubby and I would take them sunflower picking and it was amazing to see these flowers tower over them.
A few years ago, a local farmer planted a field of sunflowers and we passed by it just at the right time. My youngest even let me take a few photos. It was amazing!

Hi…great block…I went to download it this morning and saw it was only free until yesterday…the problem for me was I just received the email with the blog post on September 2nd and I was away from home until last night—-didn’t check email until this morning. I can’t figure out why this blog post is dated Aug. 21 and I didn’t get email until day before yesterday. Honest! I can reply back to you from email so you can see the date.
Hello Kathy, I completely understand that you were away. Luckily, I create new blocks throughout the year and share them here. So, there will be plenty of opportunities to add new blocks. I suggest that you check back often.
