Finally I found my 9.5" square to add to the 6.5" and 3.5" squares. Since I'm beginning my cutting from 10" squares, I won't need the 12.5" square yet.
I'm just placing them on the design wall as I cut them and there are duplicates of some of them. I'm realizing I could just come up with my own layout instead of following one in a Kaffe book. I'll start looking through the pieces in the Kaffe large scrap box next. Lastly I'll go to yardage to find more.
There are lots of scraps from the 10" squares. I'll probably cut them down into usable shapes later.
When I was planting the tomato plants on Saturday, there weren't any Peony blooms yet. When I got up yesterday morning, this is what I saw from the kitchen window.
I was outside in the afternoon to get a closer look at the blooms.
The lilacs have been scenting the backyard for the past week. I think they are starting to dry up now and the Garden Heliotrope will take over as the new scent...which is quite a bit like a lilac scent.

Wow! The peonies popped open overnight and all at the same time…..beautiful! The flowers are so fun!
Your poenies are really putting on a show! These floral prints are a perfect selection for springtime.
Like your peonies your quilt top has blossomed over night also. Both photo’s so full of beauty to see. . . Such a fun top to be working on.
Boy, those floral fabrics are splashy! I have three new-ish lilacs, one of which is flourishing. A late bloomer compared to those I've seen along the roadside and in other people's yards. Peonies are gonna pop pretty soon.
The peonies are such a gorgeous color. I love the flower motifs you are working with....who doesn't love Kaffe? That's gonna make for a wonderful eyegrabbing quilt.
The KF florals are so beautiful, Wanda--like a field of glorious color;)))
71 here this afternoon with a little cool ocean breeze--but tending to more humidity...we were able to sit out and have morning coffee on our deck--so nice.
I was able to cut my insert strips for JR Sherbet Pips piece this late morning--now i need my nap hahaha;))) hugs, Julierose
Yes, you could indeed come up with your own layout. Gorgeous blossoms in the fabric and outdoors.
What beautiful dark red flowers!
Glorious flowers on the fabrics and in the garden.
