Elaine Quehl Workshop In Full Bloom - Part 3

Happy National Quilting Day.  I hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy working on a nice quilting project today or will get a chance this evening.  I have finished cutting out the rest of the fabric pieces for the poppy wall hanging and the first version is up on my design wall.  As a first attempt I do like it.  As I look at it I do see a few places where I do need to make some changes to the fabric that I selected because there isn't enough contract between the pieces or too much, but not many.  I will wait for a few days before making any changes just so that I don't make any quick decisions.  This is what it looks like at the moment. 


Once I'm happy with the final choices then the fun part starts, I have to take everything down very carefully from the design wall, because each peice has to be ironed on in order from A1 through K10, so this will likely be the challenging part in making sure that I don't mix anything up.

I just love your poppy and I'm tempted to attempt a wallhanging just like it.
