I also had some of that sunflower fabric bought many years ago and often looked at it and said "What was I thinking?". But, like you, I tamed it by mixing with some other scrap pieces and made 3 quilts for the Queensland flood victims. However, there are still are few left overs and I don't think I can bear to sew with it again -- somehow I make more mistakes when sewing a fabric I don't particularly like.
