This is a pattern from Quilts by Jen and features the Bargello technique. Bargello colour runs of varying golds and yellows were created and the petals of the sunflower were cut from those runs. The petals were then appliqued to the background. The center is a checkerboard of 2 dark brown fabrics made to look like the seed center of the flower. It was machine quilted by myself using stippling and stitch in the ditch techiques.
This work is a 40 x 40 wall hanging now adorning my hallway!

Stephanie Wilms quilted it using swirling pattern reminiscent of the Victorian era.
