Whew. Just in Time!

For a variety of reasons, I had to take a break from the blog for a time.  And, my desire to sew left for a while.

Fortunately, the desire to sew and to create and to imagine and to dream have all returned.  And, not a moment too soon, as I still have a quilt to finish by July that I would like to finish by May 1.  No pressure there!

The good news is that I think I can finish it on time. Saturday, I completed all the blocks for it.  Sunday, I started sewing the blocks into strips, with the blocks separated by random sized blue and white plain blocks.  Tonight, I'm halfway done making the strips.

The next steps will be to start appliqueing the frogs on to the plain white blocks.  Not all of the plain white blocks, but a sufficient number of them.  Then, it will be time to sew the strips together and quilt it.

Okay, when I type it, it sounds easy enough.  But, I'm sure that it will be tougher than I realize.  At least I have figured out the frogs that I will be appliqueing on the white squares. 

The toughest part may actually be finding a suitable backing fabric.  I guess that means a trip to the fabric store is in my future!
