What
attracted you to the Leap Frog fabrics?
I
like the colors of the fabrics. I am glad to see orange is getting
featured more in the current fabric lines. Orange actually goes with just
about any color. :)
Favorite
print in the collection?
My
favorite print is the focal border stripe print. I
actually like everything about this line because it is such a fun group of
fabrics.
Tell
us about your lily pad block.
It's a
coin block, which is a variation of a snowball block. I have been
experimenting with readapting square blocks for rectangular presentations.
So, it was really nice to be able to have that block turned out to look
like a lily pad to suit the theme of the fabric line.
Did
you know you wanted to use the "frog stripe" as a border?
With the
colors I already had in the quilt center, I needed something to tie everything
together. I thought the green border would do a nice job of doing that, as well
as keep the theme of quilt visible.
What
do you like best about this quilt?
I like
that is so cheerful and bright - and very easy to construct!
How
did you quilt it?
I used
my Jester's Hat for the allover quilting on the quilt because I see the quilt
being a utility quilt for a child.
As for
the rounded zig zag in the white border, I was actually using the quilt to try
out a something new! I found that to do the rounded zig zag right, I have to
have better control in moving my quilt sandwich. My rounded zig zags on
that quilt are not perfect, but I did learn something going forward for future
quilts.
What
do you picture this quilt being used for?
I see
this used as a child's play quilt. It would be perfect to take on a
picnic in the summer time! And frogs and bugs aren't just for boys! My
daughter loves this quilt too.
