Poppy Progress

Here’s a progress photo of the poppy quilt to date.

It’s leaning towards the red which is more the color of the poppies that I grow and the fabric stash that I’m pulling from. The blue in the center has been difficult. At first I was trying to use more purply tones but they tended to blend away too much. I feel that this is a bit too blue but it does at least show up. I know quilting will make a difference. Lest you think that I don’t struggle, I think I cut seven fabrics before settling on this blue!

    Ruth – You have such vision! Love the poppy quilt and am eager to see the completed project. I think the blue is a great accent. Love, Del-at-home

    I’ve been thinking about your poppy and the ensuing quilt. Quite lovely. I remember you stash! You have such a collection of wonderful fabrics. I would love to be your scrap basket!!

    Is this quilt to get you back into the ‘quilt’ mode or do you have a destination for the Poppy in mind??

    Thanks for the encouraging words! I finished the piecing yesterday and started the quilting. I think this will be a new pattern.
