Poppy and Corn Granny Square
Poppy and corn are symbols of the harvest and autumn and so it felt fitting that these motifs should also feature in Fall in New England Cushion Crochet Along. The Poppy and Corn square is part 3 of the CAL. This crochet square shows the vibrant red poppy surrounded by sheaves of corn. white cranberry flower surrounded by the juicy berries.
