Peonies

I decided that I was going to put the green blocks on the design wall, and then decide where the pink "flowers" were going to go.

Something told me I needed some darker green blocks, so I made some. Originally I conceived of the darker greens as kind of leaves right next to the pink, but that would have drawn too much attention, and I thought it looked a little weird. But then I made it a flower and I knew I had the answer.

I put all the green triangles up on the design wall, and just to make it easier, I set them the base of the triangle down, but then realized that if I wanted the lighter green blocks to look like leaves I should arrange them pointed side down. At this stage I knew I liked the dark green "Flowers."

Here I have arranged the light green triangles pointing down, and then rearranged the flower blocks. Now I like where those are, but the placement of the blocks may change so I can more evenly distribute the prints and fabrics around the quilt. I may or may not leave the light green triangles pointing down. 

Since there are pink peonies blooming in my garden, I have given this quilt the working title of Peonies.

This is a scrap slab triangle quilt. This is the 12th one I have made, and they are all different. If you would like to make one, you can get my tutorial here, at my Etsy shop.
