2025 Update: I have recently updated this pattern, so it includes the pattern for the large sunflower pillow as well! When you download the pattern now, you will receive 4 pdfs. Two for each pattern- one in U.S. terms and one in UK. There is also a video tutorial for the small sunflower granny square on my YouTube channel. I wrote a blog post with some background information about the two patterns:
