I realized that when I initially narrated these photos that I did not include that I did a switch-er-roo. Yesterday morning I went to the quilt shop to buy some fabric to add to my quilt with the mini poppies and wonky lines but when I got home....spoke of a different quilt. SO, with $9 of fabric and some fusible web, I cut out the large poppies and put them on a new background, used the little poppies that I have in stash and poof! A inexpensive quick quilt that measures about 24 x 36. Maybe little smaller.
I have always been intrigued by an art quilt that has a part of it extending beyond the outer border. Seemed like a good day to try it out. But to bind it, I may need some help! And the whole time I am piecing I am thinking, what will Green Fairy do with this piece?
Ahhhhh, CELEBRATING an uninterrupted day of quilting!

Lovely quilt. The fabric is brilliant - looks a bit like Laura Gunn poppies although the background is different. Whatever it is it is stunning. xx
Ahhhh that is so sweet.
Let us know how you solve the binding problem.
I have always found that piece trying to escape so much fun.....
just a bit of whimsey right?
Happy Sewing
This is fantastic! I hope you'll let us know how you solve the binding issue.
