Ray of sunflowers

Spring is about close to half way through . Summertime is close so it had me thinking about sunflowers!!! I remember group edible sunflower to eat the seeds didn't realize how big the flower can get!! I kid you not at least 8 foot and the part that holds the seeds was 2 human head size if you put them side to side. 

Now just a little notes

1. For the granny square . You can make it as big as you want but I made it 4 in by 4 in and the flower I made it 3 in 

2. The leaves of the flower is a little tedious.

3. Ch3 counts as dc

4. And yes the center brown part is 6hdc and 12 sc didnt want the flower to be too big
