Again this is another lovely pattern Melva brought to us~ 

Love Sunflowers! Perfect for August in Minnesota.

It uses EPP (English Paper Piecing) method,

Then I hand appliqued the central round piece. Reverse appliqued the outer round background fabric.

A beautiful yellow flower is blooming in my back yard~
