Cornflower.
I am working on a couple of blue placemats and designed a couple of summer flowers. Here's the cornflower. I used 4 shades of blue, but could not see the difference between 3 and 4 when stitched out, so I changed those two to just one dark blue.Now I have to do another one and piece and quilt the placemats.

Thank you. I'm addicted, so much so I have hardly the time to stitch them out, let alone make nice projects. I really should start sewing a jacket before the summer is gone!

Beautiful! This is one of the first flowers that I can remember catching my eye at young age. So pretty and peaceful!

Thank you. First flower that cought my eye must have been one of my mum's pelargoniums which I tried to eat to my mum's horror. But cornflowers and poppies are the ones i remember from summer vacations on a farm, well before herbicides changed the look of wheatfields. I've got some cultivated cornflowers in my garden and digitised the full flower when they were in bloom. Yesterday I had a good look at the leaves and digitised those, did the flower on the right and liked the result.

So pretty! My grandma called those ragged robins...that's not their name, but I alway think of them as such. We would either pick them or buy them for "decoration day" at the cementery in May. Tks for the memories.

These are really pretty - the flower colours are just like the ones in the garden!

Thanks. And the leaves are a bit to blue, have to take a couple of cones outside to match :)

Really like these flowers, my Dad used to grow them in the garden in Rhodesia when I was little.

"Cornflower" was always my favorite color in the crayon box. I had no idea where the name came from until many years later. It is still my favorite color, and now I love the flowers too!! You have done a beautiful job of replicating the flower!!! Congratulations on your skill and artistic ability!

Cornflower is also one of my favorites, it is about the bluest a flower can get, without showing other hues...very pretty!
