I had a lot of fun making this quilt for our bed. Will probably repeat some of the blocks later for the great grandkids. I especially enjoyed making the scrappy turtles with the hats. Think that will be a good one for our great grandson's first big boy quilt when he graduates to a youth bed.

Too cute! That will be fun to walk into your room to see and make you smile!

I'll be your ggrandkids will love them too!

That is so cute. They are going to love it.

Just to cute love the work you did.

I'll bet all the little kids are going to want to sleep in your bed! It's just too cute!

That is precious! Good design and love the colors--very cheery :!: :-)

I love the creative one of a kind, you did a great job :D

This quilt is so cute. I love frogs.

That is sooooooo cute. You did a great job. I love to see embroidery as I do it myself. You don't see much of it anymore

That is so cute! Won't be long until the grandkids are trying to talk you out of it :) !

I am afraid me and my cat will stand our grounds. The cat loves to lay with the big frog in the middle and usually sniffs each of the scrappy turtles before she curls up.

What a happy quilt. I LOVE the turtles!!!

Thank you, I googled the turtles and kind of paper pieced the shells.

Barb, that quilt just looks so fun! Great job :thumbup:

I love it, to cute......
Grandkids will love it.

Very pretty! You did a great job! Love the frogs.

Oh yes I like that one, so much fun. The frogs are so good with there beady eyes. :D

Your quilt makes me smile. All your hard word is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.

It is just darling!!!! I love it..I do frogs too,,,and the turtles are something else with their hats on!!!!
Fully Rely On God...FROG..........

Thanks for sharing...It made me smile too....

Cathy

That is so cute Barb!

The cross stitch frogs were on printed material I bought in a Ben Franklin sttore in a package kit. Don't remember the company name if any on it.
Had to buy the floss separately.

Love your quilt is some of it paper pieced Dodie

Yes, all of the border blocks are paper pieced before I learned about the muslin trick. So I had lots of paper and material bits all over the house by the time I was finished. LOL. Now I use muslin instead of paper for the foundation. Saves lots of time.The lilies are from EQ6 templates and appliqued and the scrappy turtles are appliqued.

Your Frog pond quilt is just adorable!!! Great Job!!

I think it is awesome... I love the layout and all that you put into it..

That is really, really cool. That should be hanging up in a day care center somewhere!

What a fun quilt!
Jo

Wonderful. Did you make your own pattern for the frogs and turtle? they are so cute.

I kind of made the pattern for the scrappy turtles. I googled pictures for the basic outline and then made templates from the picture. The big frog and dragon fly were also googled and then enlarged with my computer. The polywogs on the blue saching ( they really don't show up very good ) were copied from a photograph of polywogs that were also googled. What would we do without google? I guess my quilt is googlely. The rest of the quilt was done with preprinted material for the cross stitch blocks and the commercial frog pond pattern but I did resize. The pattern is a Starbear & Friends pattern called Over the Pond. The water lilies were in EQ6

I have been reading these messages for quite some time now but never joined to reply....until today. Your amazing quilt left me smiling and speechless. What fun and yet what detail. Thanks for making my day. :lol:

Hi Barb,

Your Frog Pond quilt is the bomb! I'm sure it was a work of love. You do wonderful work. I really enjoyed our lunch the other day. Let's do it again. Perhaps I won't have quite so much on my mind next time.

That is just WAY TOO CUTE!!!

I had a lot of fun lunching with you too. DH is going to have surgery on his eye on the 25th at UC Davis and I am kind of on a hold pattern until we get the results. The Cancer center wants to see him after they get the rresults of biophsy but are sure the Lymphoma is starting to get active again and will either do a drip or radiation in the near future. Always something. As soon as I know let's make plans to have lunch again. Hope all is well with your family.

You are very welcome. I must admit I do enjoy making our bed in the morning and putting my Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and some of the soft sculpture frogs on the pillows and then watch Binks jump up and do her thing wtih the turtles and curl up in the middle on top of the big frog.

Super cute! I wish that I was one of your great-grand kids : )

Fabulous quilt!!

Love it. Very creative.
