The Unikko poppy pattern (in red) graced the sheets of my college dorm bunk bed more than 40 years ago!

It was a case of poppy love at first sight. My mom was crazy about the cheery pattern, I am still crazy about it, and it's wonderful to meet the newest generation of Marimekko designers.

Rock on.
