My son Nicholas and his wife Laura are expecting twins! So, for this joyous occasion and because Laura loves Frogs I designed twin frog quilts for the babies. My idea for the frog came from the fabric. Rachel and I drew them by looking at the frogs on the fabric. Actually, Ray drew them and I tweaked them to my liking. The squares are 4 1/2 by 4 1/2" with the surrounding fabric 2 1/2" by various lengths. Center white strips are 2 1/2" wide. Frogs have batting behind them and then I appliqued them using the blanket stitch on the sewing machine. Mouths, eyelashes and part of frog's vest are embroidered. Girl frog's tutu is made from tulle. Finished measurements are 46 1/2 x 46 1/2".

Love this quilt. How much seam allowance did you use? Are those sizes including or excluding seam allowance?
