It is beautiful and your friend will love it. Made me remember my life long friend who passed away unexpected and she loved sunflowers. Thanks for sharing and for helping me remember good friendships. 🌻🌻🌻

What a terrific job! It's wonderful.

This turned out amazing with the 3D flowers, couched leaf vine, and black frame to set it off. A branch for hanging would be the icing on the cake.

The sunflowers were particularly new for me; I have never attempted 3D applique before. I asked for input in helping me solve the problem of "finishing" the quilt. You were a tremendous help! Together with your ideas and sleeping on it, I knew what I wanted to do. I framed it in black (your idea), added corded leaves (my idea), and included my word in stitching on the border (your idea). Now it feels finished, I Love the look of it, and I hope my friend likes it too. It's a housewarming gift for her. Thank you for your help!

The couching is a fabulous ending to the quilt top!!! Brought out the theme of the sunflower and also tied in the piecing on the quilt. I love it and your friend will love it too.
