Recently I read, in the McKenzie River Reflections (Oregon) about 5th grade students, who raised $1,300 with a Sunflower quilt they made to benefit the McKenzie Outdoor School.

Although the photo wasn’t in color, the sunflower designs looked lovely and very individual.
Sunflowers seem to be a theme in other schools this year. In New Hampshire, students planted sunflowers on the front lawn to beautify their school and to promote its “green” theme.
In browsing through my quilting books, I’ve come across three patterns with the sunflower’s name. Do you know of any more?
- Kansas Sunflower
- Sunflower
- Basket of Sunflowers
Do you ever use a sunflower theme in your crafts?
(My“Country Kitchen” column appears in the print edition of River Reflections. I’ll be writing about sunflowers there soon.)
