ideas please
In my quilting bee to celebrate 10 years we have to make a 6" block to
express who we are! We've been given the background fabric - cream. We can use whatever technique we want and colours are a palette of greens golds and blues and anything that matches! OK, what can I do! I want to express that I'm a little crazy, I'm about to move to France, I'm far from quiet! and it's got to be quick and easy, as I don't have much freetime at the moment! Thinking along the lines of a frog, bottle of wine or something like that. Maybe something abstract - I just don't know. Thanks Janner Cornwall UK |

It's soooooo obvious! A crazy quilt block with "loud" colors, and a
frog and wine- either appliqued or find a pieces of fabric with a frog and a wine bottle! g I'm thinking the center should be the cream background with a frog applique' (you should be able to find a ready made frog applique' at a sewing and notions store???) or a button shaped like a frog and go from there. The wine could even be a piece of "wine" colored fabric. It only needs about 5 pieces of fabric for a 6 in. block.
