There are 9 fussy cut frogs on the cutting table. They have silly faces and
are not neon colors but close, really close.
If you were here, you could help me choose the sashing and borders.
Maybe a nice toasty color would calm the group just a little. What about
the 'confetti'? It's a black with tiny polka dots of primary colors.
Dark green grass? Cool blue water?
Wish you were here. Polly

What color is the background? Assuming you cut squares out of frog
fabric? Maybe you could applique them to some cool blue water? In
which case I'd definitely go for the confetti. Unless you have some
black or purple with dragonflies all over. (Which does exist, I have a
FQ of it in purple!)
Roberta in D, wish I was there too

There really is some black with dragonflies here but don't you think we need
something quieter? Well, not that dragonflies make much noise but you know

Years ago we did a quilt with frogs on it. It didn't start out having
frogs - we did a stack-and-whack in greens, then I got an idea and we
sashed it in blue, with a border of pebbles overpainted with shaded
green to look like the edge of a pond, then appliqued several dozen
fussy-cut frogs all over it, converging on the central "lilypad", which
had a bunch of cartoon frogs partying. The frogs were appliqued so as
not to follow block boundaries exactly - some were over the sashing, as
if hopping from one pad to another. The effect was as if they were all
hopping to the party. Took a heck of a lot of frogs to get the effect
I was after.
We raffled it for charity, it raised quite a bit.

You are so right, Jack. I'll have to find a way to let at least one frog
leap onto the sashing. Polly
