Danna738,
I also love sunflowers too. I have alot of sunflower stuff in my home also and will have more as soon as I make them or buy them..LOL. They are my favorite.
It is my own pattern. One day I started making a rag quilt and thought it would be cute to make a purse like that. I use 4 1/2 inch squares and I usually do 3 across and 3 down, a total of 9 on each side (front and back) and then on the small sides and bottom just 3 squares, unless of course it is a larger tote or a diaper bag then it is more. I am getting ready to make one with larger squares..probably 6 1/2 inch or so...and use only 2 across and 2 down. I will post pictures of my sunflower purse I made just as soon as I take some pictures of it. I have also used fleece and batting to stuff each one. Fleece seems to work a little better. But I have only used it once or twice. Batting works just as well, especially if you quilt it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. :D Good luck with yours. They take no time to complete.
