I finished this quilt all in a weekend. I love this type of quilt. It is meant to be loved, dragged around, thrown up on, and just plain abused. I don't put huge amounts of time into these quilts, just love and inspiration. It has fleece on the back and no batting and is a quilt-as-you-go technique.
Here is my froggy up close. I appliqued him on with needle turn technique. My husband, Gary did the details on him while I embroidered him. The frog pattern I got out of a coloring book. This picture shows up the colors better. The fabric with the circles that look like olives or eyeballs was my inspiration. I fell in love with it at first sight. The eyeballs on the frog were taken from that fabric, fussy cut and then made into very small yo-yos and then turned over and appliqued onto the frog. I hope the new baby will love it as much as I do. He is to be born in February and is the first grandson of a dear friend.
LOVE how it turned out! It's so soft and snuggly too...sure to be a fave!

I've been looking around trying to get ideas for a quilt for my first grand baby and think I just may have found something here. Thanks for the inspiration!
