I am almost finished with all of the quilts I am working on for Kat over at Covered In Love.
The last blocks I tackled were the Sunflower blocks. These were from the Nov/Dec block drive. I think Kat sent me all of the blocks that were donated. For this first quilt, I decided to piece them together so they form a bunch of sunflowers.
No borders - just 30 blocks sewn together to make a 60 x 72" quilt.
For the quilting, I decided to continue with the sunflower design and quilted chains of flowers at the block intersections.
They really show up a lot on the soft yellow backing.
Here is a full size photo. It is hard to see the individual blocks but if you donated, I am sure you might be able to identify yours by the black and white prints.
I was able to make two more quilts from these blocks. I hope to share the final two next Friday - that gives me a week to get the bindings sewn on!
Have a great weekend everyone!

What a great block! The secondary pattern it creates is terrific and the addition of yellow and sunflower quilting are the perfect accent to this quilt's story! Well done!!!
Gorgeous finish! Someone is going to be very happy to get this one.
That turned out great! I knew those blocks would make a great design, but they sure were fiddly to make. It's no wonder some turned out to be different sizes. I don't think I'd have the patience to make enough for a whole quilt. Thanks for turning our blocks into a beautiful quilt, Cyndy!
You did a great job. The quilt looks beautiful.
Beautiful finish. What a fun quilting design.
Congratulations on getting all of the quilts for the drive completed. This is a bright and happy one!
I love your finish! Great quilt!
Perfect! Now I want a sunflower quilt!
It looks so good!! You got a little over half the blocks, there is one finished quilt and one finished top here.
I'm so happy to see this quilt! I didn't participate in the block drive for that one, but really wanted to see how the blocks played together. So fun!
What a nifty quilt. Thanks for helping out Kat. What a wonderful assortment of black fabrics.
This block gave me fits, so I wound up only sending one block. Your quilt looks great, but like, Diann, I'd never be able to do enough of these for a whole quilt.

What a cheerful finish, Cynthia!!
What a unique and cheerful quilt! I love how those sunflowers come together at the corners. Surely this quilt will flood the recipient with sunshine!
Such a lovely, happy quilt!

Nice finish with all the lovely bright yellow, this will be loved by the lucky person who receives it.
That is a beautiful quilt. The sunflower faces are a nice touch.
I wasn't able to make any of these blocks but boy do they look terrific. I couldn't place how it would all look together but it looks amazing. Thank you for all that you do. It's fabulous!!
Ohh what an interesting setting!! It beautiful!
