paper pieced sunflowers
 

My show and tell for today...a block from Janeen van Niekerk's "In the Garden" BOM

I think could have done a better job with color placement, but on the whole, I am too lazy to do over and pleased enough to leave as is. This is to be my quilt. Around 106 pieces in this 12-1/2" block. I've been having a lot of fun putting these together.

That is stunning,sunflowers are my favorite flower! Great job, can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Very nicely done Debra. WOW, that is a lot of pieces.

Awesome sunflower block and I don't see a thing wrong with your color placement. I immediately envisioned pebbles quilted in the brown centers :)

Feline, hard to tell but the center is purple, and I see pebbles too ;-) I've been practicing!

Tartan, I may have counted a piece more than once, but yeah, definitely around a hundred or so ;-)

thank you, kindly. Have you done your hummingbird yet? I really want to see.

thank you! we use to grow sunflowers every year. the kids and the neighbors love them so. So many people would stop by and comment on our giant sunflowers. They have special meaning for me.

Oh I love it! The color placement is so pleasing and dimensional!!! I didn't realize there were so many pieces in this one! I've been saving the patterns from this BOM but haven't started them.....and you know why. Trying to wrap up a few others before starting a new one!

Very nice PP. I like a lot!
peace

very nicely done, indeed!

Very pretty! Good job.

Very nice!! Can't wait to see the other blocks.

Very nice! Color placement looks good to me. I love how their little heads are angled. You really really do love your PP!

That is so pretty. I want to go back, and find my pp book that tells me how to do it. I only made one little thing then, and it's been awhile now.

Lovely and your color placement is just fine.

Looks beautiful....can't get my head wrapped around so many pieces.....such patience!!

lol, yes i do! It just came over me this year.

Gorgeous!!!!!

i love your paper pieced flowers....they are all so pretty....but that many pieces in one block....WOW !!!

Love your sunflowers! Wonderful work!

I think you did a wonderful job!

Stunning...The bright green really compliments the color scheme...i like your color placements:)/lissa

Nice!!! I love sunflowers!

Coming along great.

Wow, I really like those sunflowers and the way they are put together. It gives them dimension and they look great. Nice job.

Terrific sunflowers! Nicely done. :)

Beautiful sunflower. But oh my, the number of pieces, lol!

very realistic - love the sunflowers.

Oh those are pretty!!! reminds me I have a pp sunflower pattern somewhere. I always told myself I would enlarge it and make a quilt. yeah, sure. Love yours.

I think your PP sunflowers are just fabulous!! Is your BOM through a quilt shop? I'm going to look up that pattern. If all the blocks are as nice as this, I think I'd like to do it. Thanks so much for showing us your work:)

They look so "friendly"! The color placement is good and sets each petal off. Will wait to see more!

Wow that is so very awesome.

Now I love this one, paper piecing is so cool..

I love sunflowers. Will make your room very spring like.

I love this block and would like to make one of my own. Where did you find the pattern?

There is something so happy about sunflowers. I think yours is very life like. Nice work on finishing it.

Love your sunflowers they are beautiful! I have a good friend I've been wanting to make a sunflower quilt for, but I had not found something I loved yet. I think I'll need to go find this project for myself. You did such a beautiful job.
