Once the pumpkins have had their day, it is time to focus on the poppy. The poppy has long been a symbol worn in November, so that we remember to remember. The official date is November 11

I saw a picture a while back of a quilt with similar pieced blocks, so I created this
Poppy quilt block pattern for those (like me) who are not keen on using appliqué as a preferred method. (
A side note -- I am in awe of those who love appliqué and produce such beautiful quilts, but being a "math nerd", I prefer the geometric, pieced blocks.)
The quilt block can be made without the green fabrics but, as you can
see in the two sample quilts illustrated, simple rotations of the block
can produce additional “borders” for the poppy and add a different look
to your quilt.
