Hi Gwen,
I am not sure where you found the pattern, but it is really nice.

One thing you need to remember is you can draft the pattern out onto graph paper and make it it from there. There really is rows of piecing that is put together to make up the sunflowers. Just look close at your pictures and you will see.

Then it is a matter of cutting the pattern apart and adding a quarter inch to the pieces on all sides. I know it sounds like a lot of work. You might be saying to yourself by now, Maybe paying nine or ten dollars for a pattern isn't so bad when you realize how much work it is to do it from the beginning. LoL!

Once you have your blocks finished sew them into strips, then sew the strips together to make the top. After it is together, then you do the same for the border.

I hope this helps you some. It can be fun to draft out a quilt if you like the process. I have done it many times, and I don't mind the work, but I have the time to do it.
