I stitched in the ditch of the pieced blocks, and then tried pebbling around the frogs. Today, I worked on putting a leaf design I saw on Leah Day's website in the inner border. It's not perfect, but it's not bad.

    I still need to finish the blue border, and then decide what to do with the outer border. Then I'll be ready to bind it!
    Wow you are doing a wonderful job!!! I have not attempted any FMQing. I am so intimidated by it!

    I really like what you've done. I haven't tried FMQ yet but have my quilt sandwiches ready to practice.

    Your FM looks great, I love the pebbling, is it hard to do? I'm not good at FM but keep trying. I've been doing the sunflower from the Leah Day website. Your quilt is beautiful.

    I watched Leah Day's tutorial on pebbling, and I did not think it was hard to do. There is a lot of "traveling" however, and it is slow going.
