Funflower Sunflower is the winner. This design has potential as a classic, a dramatic interpretation or a scrappy quilt. The blocks are easily resized.
#3, Funflower Sunflower
I can hardly choose. They are all so beautiful. I will choose Flower Garden, tho. It makes my heart sing
#1 Gives me a ‘joy’ cup overflowing experience of thriving nature.
Funflower Sunflower
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.
#3. Sunflowers stand for light and freedom.
Number 1. I vote for the Flower Garden…when you grow your garden it grows you!
# 1 Flower Garden, because it has 9 elements connected and one heart, the logo that connects all.
Also vote for #1.
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
