In her eyes froggies were the fairest of them all.
Flash forward several years (the toddler is now in full time school - cough) her mummy ... finally ... finished that quilt.
You see, the mummy wanted to have a play with this one ... put this and that in it ... cut the fabric this way and that way ... and work out just how to incorporate ALL the colours and ALL the frog fabric that the toddler wished for.

Then, how to quilt it?
Pond ripples were the answer ... echo quilting rippling out from each of the 3D pinwheel blocks ... aka ... lily pads.
Once the binding was complete ... they all lived happily ever after because (lucky for mum) she still thinks fogs are awesome.
The End.

Such a very cute quilt, I love how you quilted it! And wonderful photos too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute quilt Serena, love the colour combinations and the water ripples quilting. Photos are awesome. Xx
ReplyDeleteLove it! I especially like how you set the blocks. I am considering doing a pink quilt, but thought it might be overwhelming. The half pink-half white idea is a great alternative.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous quilt! And I especially love the setting for the photos. It's where all froggies dream of living and you went right to the spot. Great stuff. ❤️❤️
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome quilt Serena. So many interesting details, and nice and girly too :-)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully! The ripples are a fantastic choice for the quilting and I really love the fussy cutting and details in the piecing. The photography definitely implies a huge success and joy with the quilt. Well done, mum!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, personal quilt! It is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFrogs and lily pads and ripples! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the ears, I guess a bunny quilt will be next on the wish list.
Awesome quilt for some many reasons!! I love your daughters love of frogs, and it's so cute seeing them featured in the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt ! I like very much the layout and the quilting is just perfect for the theme. Beautiful photo shoot too !
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Better late than never! Frogs are good...and so is this design. I love the two background colors and the layout is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful details! Sounds like your turn-around time is similar to mine. Thank goodness for the enduring appeal of frogs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous photo shoot! This froggie quilt is so bright and fun. The blocks are each so sweet and the ripple quilting was a brilliant idea! Your princess looks so pleased with her new quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job playing with this to get all the frog fabrics in! I'm sure the princess is very happy with her frogs - thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get in all those frog fabrics. You have inspired me to attack that bin full of ladybug fabrics I have been collecting. I love how you put together those different fabrics so that they all play nice together even though they are so different. And I love your quilting pattern - ripples in the pond emanating out from the centra lily pad. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteHi Serena, what a lovely quilt. I have a whole bunch of frog fabrics too, but they are for me :-) One day, I will make myself a beautiful frog quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt - especially the frogs.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cute! I love how you incorporated all of the different fabrics and I can see that it made that little girl very happy.
