Another block drive is in the books; all 5 quilts from the Nov/Dec Sunflowers block drive are done! The first one, at the top of this page, was assembled and quilted by me.
These next 3 were assembled and quilted by Cynthia from Quilting is More Fun Than Housework. She helped Covered in Love to get a handful of quilts finished earlier this year.
You can see Cynthia's pictures of these first two quilts on her blog here. I was expecting Cynthia to make 2 quilts, but she was able to creatively stretch the blocks into 3 by using sashing and borders!
Lovely crinkly texture.
I know this block was a struggle for many of us, but I just love the quilts that it made. I also love LOVE the color scheme. Definitely will need to use those colors again soon.
This last quilt of Cynthia's is on her blog here. You can see that she enhanced the "sunflower" theme with her quilting.
The fifth quilt was made completely by Linda and you can see it in this post. As always the Holiday-time block drive is the smallest of the year, but that's ok. Obviously it's a super chaotic time, nevermind in the middle of a Covid surge... Thanks to every one who participated and huge thanks to Cynthia for helping to get them finished!

The sunflower quilts really are beautiful! I can see why this is one of your favorite color combos. Looks like you had lots of fun in the sun (and sunblock)!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are all beautiful! This was one I didn’t participate in because I was away from my machine from Thanksgiving to New Years, it did make a wonderful quilt! And the colors, yummy!

ReplyDeleteI love the look of those sunflower blocks that we made. The quilts turned out so very, very pretty. Thanks to Cynthia for all her help that allowed you to finish up that block drive. Loved seeing the state map of where all those beautiful blocks came from. Thanks to the 27 quilters who participated.
