The shop got a handful of sunflower prints in and this one was so pretty. I decided I better do something with it!

I was planning on making a one blocks wonder to surround a big sunflower panel, but I forgot how slow and tedious making these are. Especially after whipping out half a dozen nine patch quilts LMAO

Anyway. We’ll see how many I can make before I get tired of them. Might use the panel, might just make a lap with the blocks.

This three are all one block, just spun around to the three possible configurations. I have to do that with each one (i don’t have to, i could just throw ‘em together with the first layout I do) and decide which I like the best.

And it’s so lightweight; I used 100% cotton batting and a deep green cotton for the backing and it is crazy how light it is for its size!

Used the accent yellow for the binding to frame it all up and bring that side setting colour all the way around the quilt and used a bright yellow thread on the back so you could see the quilted sunflowers.

I love doing OBWs, but always forget how easy they are. Intimidate myself out of doing them because I think to myself: it’s gonna take soooo long i could do other quilts that will be faster!!

what's keeping out practically every disease, infection, and contamination? skin

what's responsible for 90% of cooling you down when it's hot outside? skin

what can absorb radiation from the goddamn sun and somehow you only get hotter for it? skin

what organ can you decorate with paint, cosmetics, tattoos, and also use as a to-do list when you've got your wrist and a sharpie? SKIN BABEYYYY

practically every organ is annoying in some way. the human body is cursed. every bone and muscle is built spitefully and your immune system is halfway trying to kill you. but skin? skin is trying its very best and it's doing a great job of it. skin is healing up after the most fucked up stuff imaginable and growing back twice as strong because it loves you and wants to protect you. this is not a shitpost i just genuinely want more people to take a second to appreciate something about themselves they've always taken for granted
