Purple Iris Afghan Designed

I think we have about 3 sizes with this collection of squares.  Some of you may know I recently finished an Afghan called Iris and Lillies that was Purple and Yellow.  Soooo, this isn't a repeat, but purple always makes me this of Iris, the big double ones.  I have many in my back yard, though it's too early for them to be blooming yet.  The Rhizomes came from my folks back yard, so ....I love purple Iris.  The green represents the leaf.  Not sure what color I'm leaning towards to edge and join...maybe light purple...pretty sure I don't have any of that green in my stash.

Do you recognize any of your squares in this design?  Have you scrolled back over the last week and half to see if you can find your squares?  I've been designing, naming and lining things up for assembly.  I really need to see how many I have before how long it will be to accept more squares. 

And when I started dumping and dividing and pondering over these squares, it's not because all  my previously designed ghan were done; but...it's hard to know what you have until you go through this process.

    I also am an iris lover. I think we all have memories of these flowers from our childhood. This also reminds me of the tiny wild violets that grow in my own backyard. Dont know where they came from but they remind of my mother. Perfect weekend for that i guess. Will be a beautiful afghan.
