Well, I have been quilting like a fool this week (when current events would let me!). So here are the last two quilts I needed to finish before our neighborhood Garage Sale in June.

The frog quilt was the worst experience. I got it all set up on the frame and ready to quilt with my Bailey, got three bobbins wound, and now can't find the darn bobbin holder to put the bobbin into the machine. Those darn Gremlins! Anyway, I took it off and FMQ on my Pfaff. And I think it turned out great! This was how it was meant to be quilted, I guess! Hopefully the bobbin case will show up sometime soon.

The flowered quilt came out so ugly that I was determined to "fix" it. So I appliqued those big bright yellow flowers on it. Sure looks better now!

Thanks for looking and for letting me vent! LastGrandma

I call this Frog Frenzy -- the quilting makes the frogs look 3-D

Alternated quilting direction on each block -- you can almost see the 3-D!

Don't really have a name for this one. The piecing is called Freaking Easy Quilt. Probably looks better all in one color, did not like it plain!

Those are both darling quilt. All those little frogs are so cute. I love the daisy quilt. Those flowers are the perfect touch. Great job on both and thanks for sharing.

Call it "Daisies Gone Wild"

Gorgeous flower quilt and a cute frog quilt. Your pieced background makes the flowers pop. A solid background would have washed out the flowers, IMHO

alikat110 05-15-2011 02:09 PM

Great quilts. Love the flowers.

GreatStarter 05-15-2011 02:13 PM

Your are right about the frogs almost looking 3-D. Wonderful job. Love what you did with the second quilt too.

Awesome save with the big yellow flowers! Great job. I probably would have added something, too.

debcavan 05-15-2011 02:35 PM

Thank you for sharing. They both look great. The flower quilt is so unusual. It looks wonderful

stichinluvr 05-15-2011 02:43 PM

Really like the addition of the flowers. I like the jumping froggy quilt, too.

clem55 05-15-2011 03:47 PM

Ditto for me, those flowers were really a great idea.

QUILTNMO 05-15-2011 03:50 PM

both are nice love the flower one

You can't find the bobbin case? Seems someone on this forum a day or so ago lost hers. Her DH and she hunted and went through garbage cans again and again. Finally she found it.

IN THE MACHINE!!! She'd put it back absentmindedly and forgot about it.

Great work! I love the flowers!

brightstar_202 05-16-2011 06:23 AM

you may think that the one with flowers is ugly but it is the best before the flowers and after. good job...

Anael 05-16-2011 06:26 AM

Great quilts! The little frogs are lovely and your huge flowers are so nice and bright!

Same here! Great job!

Yooper32 05-16-2011 06:41 AM

Just gotta love those flowers. What a great idea for a "fix". Nothing blah about that quilt now.

tntgranny 05-16-2011 06:44 AM

Love the feet peeking out from the quilt!

Lucy90 05-16-2011 06:55 AM

I like the flower one and I like the scrappy background it makes the quilt more interesting

pjnesler 05-16-2011 07:08 AM

You did right by the flower quilt - good eye to see how to complete it when you were not happy with the initial look. :wink: :lol:

Homemother 05-16-2011 07:09 AM

Congrats on a couple of well done quilts! I like what you did with the flower one! The frogs are cute too.
