Proper Bostonian Quilt Guild is currently working on a year-long project: a sampler flower quilt with a mystery setting. The first block was a poppy,

I like this block so much I’ve decided to make a Poppy Quilt. As of right now, I’ve made 12 poppy blocks. They are 8 1/2 inch now and will finish at 8 inches square. I’m still contemplating the overall pattern for the quilt.

My old design wall, a vinyl St Patrick’s Day tablecloth with a fuzzy back, had been used so many times, that it was getting brittle, shredding along the edges, and covered with thread and really no longer useable. But I recently picked up a Christmas tablecloth so now I can start working on the quilt design. I think it will be fairly modern, with lots of negative space. But time will tell!

I’ll keep you posted as to my progress!
