Thank you! Then I guess we will leave it alone and just finish as we started, pics when completed!

Since, Ryan doesn't need his niece/nephew's quilt for awhile, I'm working on a quilt for a neighbor for their new grandson.  Mother said their colors are blue/green and brown.  At first I didn't think I had any fabric in those colors, then I remembered I had this frog fabric (and a coordinate), so I found a blue in my fabric stash and ordered the green on-line (ordered two actually, and my first choice was the right choice, so now I have an extra green).  Got started on some blocks today; pictured is half the blocks I'm making, then I'll make pieced sashing strips for the right side and bottom to complete the pattern.

I hope so. 
They just said blue/green and brown; not sure if these are the shades of blue and green they wanted, but the frog fabric is so cute and has a brown back ground with a blue and a green in it, so we'll try it and see what happens, if not I'll have a froggy quilt available.  :o

I do have a small amount available.   I have 4-6 of the 2-panel pieces (they are already cut, came that way), and a yard or two each of the border stripe and blue tree print (I'm about out of the greyish snowy print, so I'm keeping what I have left for my projects).   When you decide you want some, PM me, as it probably won't get listed on FB.

Debating if I should add borders or not. 
Baby quilt.
Without borders it's about 35"x42", with borders it would be about 45"x 55" (I think).

Not colors I thought would ever go together but they actually look really good together .

Thank you.
I'm nixing the borders and going with just the blocks.   Partially because I want to be done, and partially because the fabric I want to use for the border only has enough left to do the smaller size.

I never would have picked these colors to go together, but they asked for blue, green and brown (just hope these shades of blue and green will work); and I had the brown frog fabric with the blue and green in it.
I might be done with this tomorrow sometime, and if they are home, I'll take it over and see if they are happy with it.  Hope so.
