Your quilt is beautiful. When I looked at it I got goosebumps. It reminded me of my gramma - she raised poppies for the seeds to make filling for kolacky.

Thank you for the memories! Great job.

Beautiful! Could you baste some tear away interfacing over the poppies and talk her into quilting it anyway? lol

could you remove the poppy(organza), have it quilted and then put the poppies back together?

I love poppies, and your quilted interpretation of them is awesome! What a fantastic quilt!

PS Even if it can't be long armed, it seems you or someone could FMQ it on their machine, which would go a lot faster than trying to hand quilt the whole thing! Bet someone on the board could do it for you. (I've done a few little things that way, but not experienced or good enough to offer my services!)
