  • sunflower sunflower looks to me like it will make a very happy complete quilt.

  • I think I voted, but just in case….my first choice is cone flower, me second choice is flower garden♥️

  • Funflower Sunflower is the winner. This design has potential as a classic, a dramatic interpretation or a scrappy quilt. The blocks are easily resized.

  • I can hardly choose. They are all so beautiful. I will choose Flower Garden, tho. It makes my heart sing

  • Ummm, just noticed that the number given for FunflowerSunflower is #2, when it’s actually the third choice. It was listed with the same # as Coneflower. Looking at comments from other folk made me realize I’d just said #3, when that # is not beside the Sunflower choice.

  • # 1 Flower Garden, because it has 9 elements connected and one heart, the logo that connects all.

  • Yes, I too, vote for #2. All sorts of possibilities buzzing around in my head! Hoping I can join this Stitch-a-Long with you, Crispina. Julia D has been steering me your direction for several years now!

  • no. 2. I like the coneflower design. shaping and colors, call out to me. I love that it is not a symmetrical flower.

  • This is a hard choice! #2. I love that it’s the flower of the Ukraine. Next time #1. I love that one too. Ooh! I just love all of this!!

  • ~Funflower Sunflower~sunflowers symbolize adoration~loyality~longevity~all that this quilt will represent~

  • Funflower Sunflower! It’s the flower of Ukraine and I love how the four squares come together as a whole!

  • I like number one the Flower Garden. It is something very different from what do and presents lots of color/texture design opportunities

  • definitely #3 funflower sunflower! i like how 4 squares are needed to make a whole. Very dynamic.

  • Love them all ….. but if I have to vote for one it’s Funflower/ Sunflower 👏👏👏🥳💕

  • #1 Flower Garden although #3 Funflower Sunflower would be both beautiful and meaningful in shades of blue and gold

  • My daily vote goes to Coneflower, tho I would be thrilled to work on any of these scrumptious designs!

  • 1. Flower Garden, but that was a seriously hard choice because they’re all beautiful!

  • ~Funflower Sunflower~reminds me of coming together~creating community for the common good~

  • I vote for number one, flower garden. They are all beautiful but that one makes my heart soften

  • I’m voting early & often! Lol Each one is beautifully beautiful! I’m voting for coneflower & have my fingers (and toes!) crossed that I am able to participate! (On the waitlist)

  • Oooh they’re all beautiful!! I’m going with #1 flower garden because I’m a sucker for greens and bold floral designs 🙂

  • I love them all! But I will go with the Sunflower. I look forward to adding some depth and texture to the flower.

    • Hey Trisha – thanks so much for sharing your fav! Stay tuned for a fun Zoom on Friday announcing the winning design AND one lucky voter wins FREE participation in the Stitch-a-Long

  • Sunflower Fun Power I like the symbolism of the sunflower one positivity and strength and that a sunflower is one of natures top pollinators!
    The design lends itself to being funky and fun!

  • Oh my! They are all so cute, but I think I like #3, the Funflower Sunflower, the best.

  • I like flower garden for its less “ordered” design- but if you join the heart corners it has a more “regular” pattern.
