When I was sewing the strips together, I had an image in the back of my head about how the strips would fit together.  It was a nice idea. Unfortunately, when I laid the strips all out together, it wound up looking more sloppy than purposefully random.
The frogs, however, still looked good!
I have five frogs ready to be appliqued on (they are just placed on top of the fabric for these photos).  And, I have five more that I just need to finish cutting around.  I started cutting out the new frogs, but the layout of the strips was really bothering me.
So, I played with the strips.
Right now, they are fitting together like this.  I'm a lot happier with this layout.  Although, there are still a few darker areas.  I'm going to leave it like this, though, for a little while and finish cutting out the frogs and then see how it looks with the frogs on it.
Flexibility is the key to quilting with only a vague plan.  :-)
So many projects....so little time. So many more projects to start.

I'm finally caught up on older posts. I took this photo this morning, just after the front lawn had been put in. I'm loving it.
