I finished something. It feels good to say that :0) I started this wall hanging for my oldest daughter just over 2 years ago. It is supposed to go with the bed quilt I made for her called Cheddar Posies.
I started with handpiecing the head of the sunflower. I'm not a real confident handpiecer so I was kind of surprised when it turned out. Then I got stuck - very badly stuck. I didn't know how to make the leaf portion of the wall hanging. I set it aside until inspiration struck this summer.
The quilting went fast and I was so happy with how easy it was to free motion quilt with my new machine. I got brave and tried something new - pebbles. (I thought they might look like seeds)
I have another big finish for my next post - it just needs binding.
Happy Quilting!!

How can I get a copy of this pattern? Thanks so much
Great Sunflower Hanging. I like the blue background it really sets off the flower.
Love the fearless quilting choices you made, the feathers in the leaves and the pebbled seeds. It will be nice for your daughter to have a little bit of mom near by in her dorm room.
Wonderful quilting choices. The complete projectbturned out great.
A bit of sunshine for a dorm room - sounds perfect.
This is so cute! Would love this for the little alcove I have in the entry way from the garage. It would make a great summer welcome. I have always wanted to do a sunflower quilt but not sure how to even start and a wall hanging may be a good test. Love the leaves and the quilting really brought it to life! Happy Halloween!
I like your big sunflower. Very well pieced.
That is really cute! I love the pebble quilting in the center too.
