Used Judith's free-form block technique to construct the background. I LOVE working so freely! Thank you, Judith, for offering this class.
The poppies are my own design. This work is still in progress at this point - I am in the process of adding layers of stitch - but I do want to show it!

This is just stunning. The contrast of the dark background really makes the poppies pop!

You did an excellent job. The contrast between the background and the flowers couldn' t be more perfect. Beautiful.

What a wonderful project to view. The saturation of dark color in the background calls such attention to the poppies. They all but jump off of the project. Thank you for sharing your project.

This is absolutely beautiful! I'm working on a basic wonky batik fabric log cabin design but you've given me more ideas after I get the basic quilt done. Thank you - it makes it truly unique.! Carol in Alaska.

The quilt is gorgeous! I am delighted how you made the colors work across the canvas of the quilt and there is a lot to look at. Did you silk screen leaves or anything on the quilt as well? You didn't need to--I always feel that step is optional for many artists. Thanks for sharing the quilt with us! Judith Trager Instructor, Art Quilt Backgrounds

Thank you Judith...I'm thrilled with what I learned in class! No, I didn't screen anything on this piece, but will try on another. Thank you again for a fabulous learning opportunity.
