A Friday Night Sew In

Another good time at FNSI.  Thanks to Heidi and her cousin Bobbi for hosting the monthly event.

It was time to resupply mug rugs for the market, so I had fun playing with some more frog fabric last night.

 

Just love to pair them up with the glass bead frogs that I made for the little spoons.

I cut several more to sew up later,

 and sewed together batting scraps for more mug rugs.

Then I added a few more blocks to my WIP String Quilt.

 I'm not sure that I like the dark fabric, even if it does have some cute lil pink roses.

Frog Flimsy

Late last year, showed the new Design Wall that hubby and I made, and the 5x5 purple squares stuck there hoping to one day become a quilt.  That day has not come, but it IS closer!

Here were the vibrant Dogs, Frogs, and Fish, in October:

I managed to get this much sewing done the other day:

Couldn't wait to choose a backing for it, and found a bolt of frogs on sale! It's much more vibrant in person.

And it's FLANNEL!

I decided to add a pieced border, and not having the rainbow colors in my newbee stash, I found these solids (also on sale ;-).  The red one is much more toward red than the orange that shows in the photo. 

Looking forward to figuring all of this out, and trying to decide which color to use as the binding...maybe the purple.  What do you think?
