If you love a project that is small, sweet and endlessly satisfying, this little poppy block is going to charm you completely. In this lovely beginner friendly tutorial, Jean Lorraine walks you through making a darling poppy block using the quilt as you go method, so you piece and quilt at the same time and end up with a cheerful little bloom that is as fun to make as it is to look at.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- Quilt as you go makes it easy. By stitching and quilting in one go, you skip the daunting step of quilting a big finished top, which makes this a wonderfully approachable method for beginners.
- A sweet, cheerful design. That bright little poppy is full of personality, and it is the perfect motif for a cushion, a mini quilt or a block to join with others later.
- Gentle, clear guidance. Jean's calm, friendly teaching style makes every step feel doable, so you can relax and simply enjoy the process.
