August Block — California Poppies!

Posted by Julie.Waldman on August 1, 2018 in housekeeping | 2 comments

Hi! I’m Julie, and this month we’re going to do a really easy block that can use up some of those warm summer colors you have in your scrap bin or stash closet. It’s a basic 16-patch block made with a bunch of 2 ½” squares, in the colors of California poppies – because I live in California. The block is 8” finished or 8 ½” unfinished. You may make as many as 9. These poppies are our state flower. The traditional ones are either orange or yellow, but there are now hybrids ranging from cherry red to cream, with all the warm, bright colors in...

These blocks were how I like to make blocks – big and trim!   I was also blown away by the fact that the triangles are perfectly equilateral!  All that with no templates – yay!  Thank you to Deana for the very-easy-to-follow pattern.  My six for donation this month.  Karen N in Cape...
