When I saw the Mellow Yellow theme for this challenge, I immediately thought of sunflowers. And I'm still doing string quilts, so I figured some string blocks inspired by sunflowers would fit the ticket.
So I cut 6" x 9" rectangles of foundation fabric and made string blocks using yellows. I cut center squares in brown and added green leaves, then put the squares together to make blocks.
Now I could see my mistake. Sunflowers have petals that come out from the center, but I had oriented my blocks so the petals went around. I could rip them out or I could adjust my concept. If only I'd changed the center squares to purple, I could have said they were pansies. Oh, well. I'll just call them Sunflansies and we're good to go...
