Even frogs can be orphans.....

 and come wandering down the road, lookin' for a home. A year or so back, Julie, of Julie K Quilts, included these 12 little medical Frogs, with a first border of red, in a package of orphan blocks. And I wondered, "hmmmm, what to do with 12 frogs?" Then, this past spring, in a moments impulse, I added 2" muslin strips to those blocks...but still not big enough to do much with, and still, NO INSPIRATION...so they sat. And then last week....it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, since the Frogs were then 8.5" instead of their original 6.5"...just maybe they would work with these....

 ...the 8.5" scrappy 16 patches I've been making all winter from odds and ends! So I gave it a "shot" and sure enough, they look pretty darn good together. And if I could arrange them right, the 12 blocks would come out "even"!

So I did, and they did...and I feel both liberated and scrap happy!! I dug in my drawer of green fabric and found a yard of this awesome green(almost an exact match for the frogs)and best of all, it was polka dotted.
So the top is complete at about 46" square. It will probably be donated 'as is' for a volunteer to finish.
