I only got three blocks done yesterday. I got sidetracked with some computer clean up. I need to update the 'pages' on the right side bar and I made a little progress. I hadn't added photos to any of the categories for so long. There is more to do though.
I played around with meshing the blocks together. I have to make a whole lot more of the small ones or cut some filler squares with fussy cut 7.5" squares of the big prints.
This is the whole group of blocks so far. I have 3 more large blocks cut out and unless I decide I need a certain color added, that is all of the large blocks I will make. Then I can get serious about a layout.
I also chose a backing for this quilt. I originally had 2 Kaffe prints as contenders but I decided I need to save them for borders on future quilts and not waste them on the back.
This was my original first choice for the back but when I laid it out to double check how much I had, it was a couple inches short of what I needed. That prompted me to look for other fabrics for the back.

Love the mix of sizes bears paw . It is looking good
Wow, the mix of light and dark Kaffe Fassett prints looks almost jewel like on the screen. It's so pretty!
I definitely need to take some time to clean up my sidebars too. It always seems to be on the bottom of my list.
I love all of the wonderful colors and the two sizes.
The only way I would put Kaffe on th e back is if were one of my two sided quilts...and then It would be small pieces.
I've been watching your progress on your Bear Paws blocks and want to tell you that they are beautiful!! Love your colour and fabric choices!
This may seriously be one of my most favorite quilts I have ever seen!! Wish I had a big enough Kaffe stash to make my own. What a beauty!
I love the different sizes of blocks you are using, gives it the real wow factor.
Your bear paws block in different sizes will just be great!
The backing you've chosen for th random plank quilt is perfect! And the bear paws are coming along wonderfully.
You are making great progress.
Look forward to the final layout. I am enjoying your journey.
Enjoying each new BP block...
Polka dot fabric backing is perfect... And OMG that paisley is gorgeously stunning !

THe colors are starting to shine in the blocks! I hate to waste pretty fabric on a back!
