I like the arrangement you have. But do you have enoug to pit a 1/4 inch strip of the frog first.

I would try looking at it with the print first but if that doesn't do it for you then the way you've got it is great too

I have made 2 frog quilts. One with a border and one without. It depends how big you want the quilt to be. [ATTACH=CONFIG]530938[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530939[/ATTACH]

Love everything about the quilt. The fabric, colors and the pattern. I would audition a small white (or a color that is close to the solid in the print) border as the 1st border and then two of the other fabrics. I think that would make the center of the quilt pop.

I think your frog quilt is really cute and I think your border choices are really nice. What would you think about changing either the green or the pink into a flange before the outer border? One of those colors, pink or green would be pretty for the binding.

I vote for frog first, then the pink. The green could be a third border or the binding. I think I would like to see it as binding. Cute quilt!!

I agree with Tartan. She always has such great advice.

I'd put either the pink or green "solid" then wider of the frogs.

I like the color combination you have but if you are undecided, I would change the 3 fabrics around some until you are happy. I personally think any of the 3 prints will work and I would use all 3 in the quilt.
