Corrie from Quilt Taffy is are Dotty Host!! Thanks to Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt she has inspired us once again to get our creative juices flowing!! I wanted to use Halloween colored fabrics to get me in the Fall spirit!! These were the fabrics I had on hand to use.
I decided to try my hand at a pieced sunflower. I definitely need to work on my circles. I kept having two spots bunch a little. My sunflower looked a bit scrunched after trying to fix it so I had to go back and iron it.
I used the same fabric for my center as my border. I decided I liked the black dot background better than the white. The orange fabric seemed to pop better on the black.
I machine appliqued it with a zig zag stitch. It was my first time trying this technique.
I hung it on my black fridge to get a good photo. Those are fridge magnets holding it up. The back is also the black with white dots. Its a little hard to tel.
Here are all of the wonderful ladies showing off their talented creations today!! Be sure to go and visit everyone!!

Oooh its lovely -I love the back too - so neat and striking. Like the idea of photographing it on the fridge using magnets - takes me ages to precariously balance mine on the wall hanging thingy if i dont sew in the extra loops! Thanks for sharing.

I like your sunflower! Nice fall colours too. The back looks really neat, so if this was your first attempt: AMAZING! I have a slight fear of the machine (full blown fobia sometimes), so I am in awe anyway!

Cherry I love sunflowers! We were traveling last week and passed a huge field of them...way past their prime in this drought but still beautiful. blessings, marlene
I love sunflowers and yours is great , a little tip for the next circle you want to applique on. Take a piece of thin interfacing and place it on top of your fabric which you have traced your circle ,sew around the line then make a small slit in the interfacing , turn and then you have a perfect circle you can now iron on .
My 2 favorites Halloween and dots. Your block is really pretty. Can I put my 2 cents? If you starch your fabric and have it well ironed before you cut your circle, they will come out perfect. But I like as is. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful sunflower! It's perfect for dotty fabrics!
Very cute sunflower...just in time for fall! I'm intrigued by your piecing. Thanks for the inspiration.
