    I bought these today to make a quilt for my mom. She collects frogs and after years of growing up with white or beige colors she now decides she likes vivid colors. So I think these will be right up her alley.

    You have a great eye for color (something I think I'm lacking). The frogs are so cute! What pattern are you doing?

    I am think about doing 4"x4" square of the frog pattern with a 2" boarder of alternating colors and 6"x6" solid color squares. With the frog pattern as the binding and the rose color for the backing.
