Help im Looking for a russian sunflower quilt pattern?
"Russian Sunflower" is one of several names for a quilt block that was printed in several Kansas City periodicals. To quote from Barbara Brackman's BlockBase:





"Patterns appeared in three periodicals (Kansas City Star, Weekly Kansas City Star and Weekly Star Farmer) from 1928 to 1960. Early patterns were McKim syndicated patterns but in the early 1930s began a unique column of traditional and new designs by staff members and readers. Reprints available from:

Other names for this pattern are Oklahoma Sunburst, sunburst, Noonday, Rising Sun, Kansas Sunflower, and A Brave Sunflower. It is a double starburst pattern with a circle in the center. The book "The Sister Blocks" from the Kansas City Star Quilt patterns shows this block on the cover - I assume instructions are in the book. You can get the book at Amazon for about $10.00.





Good luck - this looks like a challenging quilt!
