Blue Frog Quilt Pattern

New Pattern Alert! This is the Blue Frog quilt pattern and I am delighted with it! I know it's not that blue and it doesn't look like a frog. Let's face it. Naming quilt patterns is getting more and more challenging. But there is a method to my madness. I had these colors in mind when I designed the quilt. I've been using my solids up this fall and there are these pesky green ones that didn't seem to go with much. So I grabbed all of them and then asked myself what goes with green? Well blue of course! So then I had the blues all audition for the part and this is the resulting cast. 

This pattern was so helpful in using both yardage and 2.5" strips. I had a bunch of that in these blues and greens too. I even put the directions in there for fat quarters just to hit everything you might have on hand. So grab what you have and make this quilt!. 

I even found two blue greens for the back and put a hard to use green in between them. I tied in the black and white accent fabrics by using a black and white print for the binding. 

Back to where the blue frog comes in. I was on the internet one day and I saw a picture of a blue frog. They are beautiful! Why not use that for my pattern name. So then came this blue and black version which reminds me of the blue frog. If I hadn't already had my fabrics picked I would have switched to these. 

Both the previous versions use a solid black and a solid white as the accent colors, but I wanted to see what it might look like with a pop of raspberry, also lovely.

For this last version, I used two white prints from the fabric collection for the accent fabrics. It adds just enough interest and breaks up the darker colored pieces.
