The last two rows have been pieced and are ready to add to the top section. I could have sewn it on last night but I need to press the top after it's done and it was too late for that.
I also cut the border strips and sewed the border on the Martha Negley fabric quilt. Another one to be pressed today.
More Peonies are blooming. I cut some of the ones that fell over for a bouquet for my living room.
I did a little clean up in the front garden. I had been watching this plant on the left that came up where I didn't have anything planted last year. My plant app told me it is a weed. I was suspicious because I have had it in my back garden too. It looks like some type of Rudbeckia when it first comes up but then the leaves become a brighter green. That is a black-eyed-Susan to the right of it. I dug it out yesterday afternoon and also dug out the volunteer Violet. I have hundreds of them in the backyard in the garden and in the grass. I don't need them in the front garden too. Last week I dug out the Salsify. Now I need to fill in the spot where a plant died over the winter.

Yay!
You have a lovely variety of peonies. Do the blooms last long in a vase?
Isn't it so odd that the weeds often grow better than the plants we chose?! Happens here far too often (and the Salsify has been removed from our beds, too). Congrats on the MN border - it looks really good.
Wanda, look at the very bottom row, right side. One red square is in the wrong spot. Otherwise, love it!

You are making good progress on both quilt tops. I have a plant coming up that kind of looks like a coneflower but it could be a weed. I guess I will wait a bit longer to see what it does.
Weeds cam be very stubborn abou intruding on our garden spaces!
you have so many Kaffe fabrics I wonder if you know what year you started to collect them? I'm just curious as you have so many and were you immediately drawn to them when they first started to hit the fabric stores? I remember going in one store once when we were traveling this was back in the early 2000's I think it was Iowa, and I swear now I felt almost blinded when I walked in the store - I think that actually put me off of them for awhile as it seemed to me (then) that it was too much in a small space. Now I really enjoy all that color.
Two wonderful quilt tops to get pressed today. And your peonies look like such a pretty bouquet. . .
That quilt really is coming together fast! Those peonies are beautiful. I've always been fascinated with how weeds disguise themselves as legit plants in the garden - lol!
