Quilt patterns for dreamers and adventurers.

Mini Sunflowers – a fun new freebie for you

Sewing & Stuff

In celebration of today’s release of my Sunflowers quilt pattern, I would like to gift you a miniature version of the block design: Mini Sunflowers!

Mini Sunflowers is a foundation paper piecing pattern and includes two different quilt blocks:

  • a 12″ x 12″ block featuring a sunflower with stem and
  • an 8″ x 8″ block featuring a sunflower without stem.

You can use the two blocks to make pillow cases, zipper pouches, mug rugs and more. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Please enjoy!

A tutorial for how to make a wall hanging combining the 12″ block with the smaller size of my Little Crow block can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

What are YOU going to make with the Mini Sunflowers blocks? Please share your creations using the hashtag #MiniSunflowersQuilt!

Thanks, Astrid

PS: And if you’d like to make a bigger quilt, here is the larger, traditionally pieced Sunflowers pattern:

      Hi Roxanne, I believe it didn’t send because you already signed up to receive this pattern sometime last year. I’ll email it to you shortly 🙂

    Love the sunflower 🌻. This is my sister’s favorite flower. I will make her a wall hanging for her home office and a couple mug rugs.
