Sorry if you're sick of this quilt. It's been a fun project for me as I need fast & easy right now in my life!
The sunflower quilting designs are from Fons & Porter magazine--the one that you just got in the mail. The smaller design--with fewer petals is one that Gail sent me. The side borders are a tad-bit narrower, so I had to shrink the flower down. The butterfly was an afterthought, but I love the way it looks on there.
The two-color binding was also a last-minute thought. No, it's not completely sewn down, but that is just a minor thing I can do..eventually. I tried really hard not to buy anything for this..but I did not have brown thread (for the flower centers) in my thread-stash.
My camera finally came in yesterday and it's been fun to play with a new toy. It has a few too many bells and whistles, but I figure it out eventually.
My other camera never would've taken this good of closeups. Now I see that I didn't get all of my paper picked out of my quilt designs! tsk,tsk....I fell in love with this background fabric and think it's what made me decide to finally do the sunflowers. It just all worked..and that is what I love about quilting!
AND...the fact it's farm related probably doesn't hurt either!
