5" triangle squares....................


I have a box of 5" finished triangles that I die cut a couple years ago.  I always figured I would make another Kaffe zig zag quilt since I sold the first top that I made back in 2010.  Here is the post when I had just sewn it together.  That one was a charm quilt, only one piece of each fabric.  This new quilt will have duplicates as well as being a Kaffe collective group of fabrics and not Kaffe exclusively.  I'm going to add in newer KF fabrics too.


I have 41 sewn and another 12 paired ready to sew.  They won't go on the design wall until I have all of the pieces sewn.




I saw one Peony bloom around 2 p.m and by 4:30 there were several blooms.






These are the deepest red Peonies that I have and they always bloom first.






The porch pots are filling out nicely.  The bright yellow flowers are scented.









I love the pale yellow Petunias.








Speaking of scented flowers, my lilacs are blooming and they are right outside of my bedroom window.  They aren't very pretty lilacs but the scent is wonderful.

love lilacs but they do not grow well here you see very few and they tend to only flower if we have had an extra cold winter. Love zigzag quilts

Another fun zig zag quilt in the making! Your flowers are so pretty. Everything seems to be blooming so fast now that the weather has turned hot.

Interesting that you have pansies and peonies on top of the stack of triangles.
Art imitating life imitating art.

Lilacs, peonies (red even), pots of colorful flowers, AND more KF action - what a GRAND post!

That peony is gorgeous. I wish we could grow the lilacs here. Ours are so small and very little scent to them.

Your porch pots always look so nice. I have some pots in my backyard but they don't look as colorful as yours. I will have to try to copy some of yours next time!
