I've been working some on the poppy-fabric quilt. I have about 2/3 of the blocks done.

(The pattern is called "County Lines." I bought it at Quilt Asylum.)

I'm doing (eventually) a twin bed size.

Here are some of the blocks.


I like that it has kind of an Asian-inspired/Frank Lloyd Wright feeling. When the quilt is done, there will be the black fabric between all the individual blocks as a sashing, and then there is a large-scale old-gold background poppy print that will be the border.

I also think this pattern would make a really pretty quilt with those mottley-colored batik fabrics and black sashing. Hm. I may have to invest in some batik fabrics and a couple more yards of solid black because that really does sound like it would be gorgeous.

Here is a close-up, showing the fabrics a little better.


These are different colors than what I usually work with - I don't usually use this much orange. But I think it's turning out well.
