I have a thing for Sunflowers and hope to some day make a quilt for me out of sunflowers. I went to WM and they have some really nice fall colors in stock. They had these 2 sunflower fabric's and I had to get a yard of each. I only buy a yard because I want an assortment of them. It is slowly getting there. I just wanted to share them with you all. Thank you for looking.

pretty sunflowers

Beautiful fabric!

I've been thinking of making a sunflower quilt with yellow Dresden plates with a brown center.

I am working on a sunflower quilt now. Love sunflowers, they are so happy!

Kaye-Kaye 08-22-2010 04:53 PM

I really like both fabrics, but especially the orangey one, because it is different from the norm.

I have a sunflower templet for the easy dresden pattern but have not had the nerve to try it. maybe by the time I get ready to make the quilt I will have gained enough experience to try the dresden.

That is why I bought it. I usually only buy the yellow ones but had to have that one.

pab58 08-22-2010 05:46 PM

Jim's Gem 08-22-2010 06:02 PM

They are quite beautiful!!!

Fabricnut 08-22-2010 06:07 PM

You're kidding. Our WM never has any pretty fabric. I really like yours. Sunflowers are the state flower for Kansas.

You better go check. The fall fabric's they have this time are the best I have ever seen at WM.

DebraK 08-22-2010 06:27 PM

I really dig the orange one!

littlehud 08-22-2010 06:31 PM

Those are just beautiful. I love the orange. That is going to be a pretty quilt when you get all the fabrics.

eeraemore 08-22-2010 06:43 PM

OOhhh, I like the red one. I bought 2 yards of that at WM a few weeks ago. It's pretty!

cherylynne 08-22-2010 07:05 PM

Beautiful I think that I need to go to WM tomorrow.

South Sea Imports just came out with a sunflower line of fabrics called "Flowers Of The Sun" It is TO DIE FOR--but of course, expensive. My whole kitchen/family room is sunflower decor. Can't get enough of them :)

CherokeeGal 08-22-2010 07:32 PM

I Love Sunflowers too! Those fabrics are really pretty!

My bathroom is done in sunflowers. I have 2 vincent vangoe's (sp is wrong) and 3 monet's sunflower prints hanging in the bathroom.

SueDor 08-23-2010 04:03 AM

Oh, how fantastic! My secretary is a sunflower girl. I've thought about making her a quilt of sunflowers. I think they have some cute ones at JoAnn's. Do you have a JoAnn's close by?

colorfulgrammy 08-23-2010 05:19 AM

can you imagine the sunshine that will eminate from this quilt when it is done?

Smart choices.

Buying a yard doesn't break the bank.

tucsonquilter 08-23-2010 05:22 AM

I also love sunflowers however I have no idea how to incorporate the material in a quilt. I hope you all post some pictures to give me some idea.

Lynneander 08-23-2010 05:22 AM

The fabric is fantastic! They just make me happy to look at them! Can't wait to see what you do with them!!

I love sunflowers too. I might have to go to WM after work. I'd love to see your quilt when you finish it. Our dirt road is lined on both sides with sunflowers this time of year. I LOVE it!

Bostons 08-23-2010 12:40 PM

Love that picture. I think I will use it for my desktop. Thank you! :)

Fabricnut 08-23-2010 12:40 PM

To CJOMOMMA I get most of my fabric at the Sunflower Quilt Shop in Hiawatha Kansas. She has a big selection of sunflower fabrics. She has a website www.sunflowerquiltshop.net if you are interested.

Thank you for the link. I will be checking it out.

purplefiend 08-23-2010 12:53 PM

All of the WMs near me have gotten rid of the fabric, only FQ bundles left.
I like your fabrics, I'm a sucker for florals.
