Ribbit

 Ribbit as in frogs have hit the design wall!
I used a 6 1/2" block to cut circles and then used the negative space for the sister block before
the frog was cut out and then I used the rest of the square
 with blue behind it for the neighboring block. 
 It's a good use of fabric and makes a nice design.
 This block is the newest in Accuquilt's anniversary dies.  I couldn't resist!
 Originally I had planned to use the white for the background color 
but a white frog looked like a dead frog so I gave up on that idea!
So, of course, I found just the right blue but it was scraps and I am only 6 blocks short of what I need!
On top of that, I ran out of the paper-backed fusible so I am stalled until I can schedule a trip to JoAnn's.  I have to use invisible thread to applique each of the blocks so I won't be lacking any activity in the studio!  (This die does come with a free downloadable machine embroidery design but I will save that for when I use the frog on a t-shirt.  It wasn't efficient for all the blocks I wanted to do!)

  2. “White frog looked like a dead frog” — that made me laugh! I see your point, though! This is a really fun quilt.

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
