etafrica Sunflowers - I embroidered the Sunflowers on my embroidery machine (built-in design on the Janome 11000). The blocks were embroidered in the 8x8 inch hoop using random colours on hand and then each block was cut down after embroidery was complete. I collect the scrap strips left over from sashing and bindings on other projects: I used this scrap collection to do a form of crazypatch as the frame for each block. Each block was trimmed to the same size & sewn together. I added 2 borders before sandwiching and quilting. Most of the quilting was machine decorative stitches using the same varigated cotton thread throughout.
