My DH says make a picture quilt with an insert of a boy stomping in a puddle, but I don't know how to do that. Ideas?

I got so many great ideas! I have been offline (about killed me) for 5 days after our hurricane, so am just looking at the important stuff right now... Thank you all so much.
The fabric is from Hi-Fashion Fabrics, Inc,
pattern #HFGM-C 6561. I will definitely post a picture of whatever it grows up to be.

I love the fabric. Your husband's idea is a great idea. The colring pages website has a really cute picture of a boy with a frog. Your quilt can be done with a 'reverse applique technique'. I will enjoy seeing what you decide to make with it. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

Love your fabric, I'm tossing around the idea of a quilt with a medallion center on point made with an umbrella appliqué, then a border or two, then blocks on point with mini umbrellas, ducks and rubber boots. you could add some bright yellows in there, some blues to show water, oh fun! maybe I need to go get a yard of that fabric!
