thanks for the picture with the scissors holding the fold up and the one above it. That really shows what it is. I can see why you would not need any batting. I also have the peeper frogs and they give me a wonderful noisy concert every evening in the spring. smile.

Such a fun thread! We're getting educated in Oz talk - and Aussies and Kiwis are getting educated in regional Yank talk.

Thanks so much everyone. It really has been a learning curve!!
I just re-read my original thread and I am surprised anyone understood it!!
Must have been a "nana" moment!!

No need for batting as the blocks use a bit more fabric than conventional sewing. Very innovative, great for beginners as well. What a fun version of peepers! I hope this is what you are looking for.

I made a court house steps for my son using the foldy stuff patterns. Really a great and easy pattern. Finished size was approx 110" x 110".

A binding? but what the heck does that have to do with Viagra?

Originally from CT and I too thought of little frogs. Now living in KS but still have the little frogs which I call peepers. They amuse my cats but not for quilting with or sitting on.

Would this be what you want (I sort of "get it"---just a very tiny strip of color "peeping out)http://happyinquilting.blogspot.com/...dd-peeper.html

Curiosity killed the cat but for me it was a learning experience. I had to read all 5 pages of the posts and check out the websites to figure out what was going on.
