More Inspiration from Rose Kretsinger

Rose and daugher Mary about 1915

I have a pattern for the Oriental Poppy that I drew up for a class I taught a few years ago. Here I am holding blocks by Denniele Bohannon and Gloria Clark.

Below is Gloria's in progress.

She's working on the border.

Rose's had simple swag and flower border.

Charlotte Jane Whitehill who lived in Emporia also made one from Rose's pattern

 but she used a different border, a double scallop.

I decided to make one and update the colors

Oriental Poppy by Barbara Brackman and Pam Mayfield.

I hand appliqued it and Pam added the sawtooth border and machine quilted it.
I did not do the reverse applique.
