The Shenandoah Valley Botanical Album block this month is the sunflower. I had fun with this one
after I saw Doreen’s (Aunt Reen’s Place) block and realized that I did not have
to make all those little petals individually. Duh!
It went together rather quickly after that discovery. Why do I always feel I have to complicate matters? My new motto is "simplify".
Oh, this is gorgeous on the cheddar. Had to laugh at your light bulb moment. Looks like something I would have done to myself. : )
ReplyDeleteWow it is superb Wendy! yes - wish I'd thought of the short cut too - the petals were a little bit tricky individually. I've finished it ...just got to get around to posting :)
ReplyDeleteLovely Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI did not even give thought to making individual pieces for all those curvy and pointy pieces.
ReplyDeleteI am still seriously considering quilting the blocks individually as you are. I like yours so well and each month wish I was doing the same thing.
I continue to love your cheddar background and scrappy fabric choices. Sometimes it's hard to see a simpler method, but I'm glad you did.
ReplyDeleteYour sunflower looks great on that cheddar background--love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome block as usual Wendy.... your appliqué is perfect and this cheddar....perfect too ! :))
ReplyDeletewee! love it Wendy!
