Hello everyone - here's my latest One Block Wonder using the technique from the books by Maxine Rosenthal. This kind of turned into a giant bookmark during the design process - I'm even thinking of getting a tassel for the point! It measures 30" across and 60" from top to tip. The original fabric is in the top panel - I love this fabric! I had 4 repeats over so I made some QST kaleidoscopes but haven't decided how to set them yet!

I also was a bit braver with my FMQ and went for contrasting threads - purple centres and red flowers - to echo the poppies. Thanks for looking! :-D
