The Frog King


I made this for Pete for Father's Day. I couldn't think of anything to get him that he didn't already have and I wanted some practice free motion quilting before working on the Monkey Business quilting. It is far from perfect but I learned allot about my machine and how to do this through this project.

I used to think that you "sandwiched"the quilt sandwich inside the binding to attach it. Now I learned (through an internet video) how to do it correctly.







I embellished the crown with some teeny tiny buttons and gold beads left over from cross stitch projects.
