WIP - Frogtastic Quilt

My youngest daughter LOVES frogs - which was completely fine until she wanted a "froggie blanket mum!"... umm ... how does one do a froggie quilt?  AND have you seen the frog fabric out there?! Croak ...

 Well this is what I've come up with so far .. lots of photos to follow!









Nothing has been trimmed to perfect size yet, I just keep adding strips until I feel like stopping.  But I'm going with a layout that will accomodate smaller blocks around 6" and larger blocks around 12"

 Here's a rough sketch of what I'm trying to achieve ...


The blocks are supposed to resemble square lilly pads or something.  I was also thinking of adding a few 3D pin wheel blocks (like I did here) to represent water lilies - what do you think?


I'm trying my best to channel my inner ribbit!

    There is a lot to love about frogs, especially that cute froggy print.
    I made a pieced frog block recently too, but it is from Kumiko Fujita's book and just a little bit fiddly. (OK, very fiddly.)
    If you need an extra block idea, how about a lily pad?
