This gorgeous yardage is as much a work of art as it is a sewing fabric. Windblown poppy shapes in tomato red, golden yellow-orange and white are highlighted with navy blue stems and buds, all scattered closely on a pure blue. The flowers are given depth and shading by areas of little "picotage" dots. The pattern has lots of variation; the repeat's not obvious. The largest flowers are 5" at the widest point; the smaller ones are 2 1/2" to 3".This is a medium weight, tightly-woven fabric that burn-tests as 100% cotton. It's 36" wide, 2 1/4 yards (81") long; both selvages are present. The piece is in amazing condition: bright and fresh, unwashed. T are no stains, rips, holes or fading, and it's odor-free.

I'll be listing items every Wednesday and Sunday through February and March; if you're a fabric lover, please come back!
