Yes, the stash is incredible, if I do say so myself. I have one of those huge, dome-lid totes that is now filled to the rafters with just Halloween. I can make Halloween quilts with just pumpkins, just witches, just monsters, just haunted houses, just bats, just cats... I can even make a quilt using three different hearse fabrics!!!
You get the scary picture, I'm sure. And I only buy fabrics that I like. I've turned down a whole lot, too.And then there's the regular stash. Oodles there, too. It is truly an obsession.

Ok I seen this picture, can't remember where sadly can't give credit, but thought wow that would be a really cool quilt, so I played with it in my EQ program and this is what he looks like. Not sure what to call him though.

welcome btiny36. He's great. Looks a little like a super hero gone bad. That's a good thing, in case you weren't sure. Looking forward to seeing progress.
This goes for everyone. Hello? I can't have all the fun by myself you know.

I've been reading along and you all are making some great quilts! I finally found time to start my frog quilt. I love frogs and bought this fabric last year with no particular plans. I came across it the other day and decided I'd use it for this. the colors are different - much more of blue-green, but I found a few from my stash that I think look ok. I might have to go shopping (darn!) for something in the yellow-green or olive range to go with it.
I enjoy making drunkard's path blocks and found this frog layout online, so will start there and add as I go. I should be able to finish the frog this weekend and will post again when he's done.
BTW his name will be Jeremiah, of course.

Jeremiah is going to be a charmer, for sure!
What an unique way to use the drunkard's path block pattern.
It'll be interesting to see how you use each of the fabrics.
Here's to a Happy Quilty Froggy weekend for you!
