I thought about cutting some of these frogs out in circles for a kids COC quilt.....with a bright colored background. Are the frogs too creepy....would they scare a child? Honest opinion please.....I can't decide.

I'm working on 2 tops right now, probably will end up sending them to Marilyn, and both have frogs. I don't think they would creep kids out at all.
They are great lol boys and frogs go together.
I think they are cute! very bright and colorful...I don't think they'd scare them...but this is coming from someone who loves everything dark and Halloween...so I'm not the right one to ask :)
They are wonderful and little girls would love them too. At least my daughter would have and my granddaughter definitely would.
Excuse my french, but HELL YEAH! lol
I love frogs, so I vote yes for frogs. LOL
When I showed my grandsons they said they were cool! Go for it and show us what you come up with!
Okay.........I'll use the frogs! Thanks for the input you "frog crazy" people! :D
Little boys love frogs. My oldest GD was a frog catching fool when she was little. So yes, use the frogs.
I think they are wonderful. LOVE frogs . . . all except the TREE FROGS . . . uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh.
Love frogs! Except here in Hawaii we have mostly toads. lol
I love frogs too!
Frog story--in the early 90's DH and I dug a small decorative pond in our back yard. It took a while to get it finished, but once we got it all tricked out with a little waterfall, our own version of a filter (this was pre "pondmania" days!), and a bunch of gold fish, we captured some tadpoles and threw them in. Well, they quickly metamorphosed into full size green frogs, and sang their hearts out every night. Our bedroom was in the front of the house, so we didn't hear the nightly chorus, but our daughter's bedroom was right next to the pond! She complained bitterly about the noise that went on all night long! One day, we heard a tree frog chirping near her room. It was early morning, but the sound was really close to her bed! A tiny tree frong, not 1" long had worked its way into her window casing and was sitting on top of the window pane chirping his brains out! What a surprise to see him inside the room! I could then see why she was complaining!
Did you know that frogs are fast disappearing in the wild, and some day we won't have them? Cherish them while they are still here for us to admire and listen to!
And they are so cute on quilts!
Okay, I have to tell my good frog story. My mother opened a ceramic shop when I was about 13-14 years old. And, given that I suffered greatly from the very thought of tree frogs, she found a small frog mold and made me a little green frog. I set the ceramic frog on my radio in my bedroom. When I would return from school the frog would be off the radio and on my dresser. I totally convinced myself that the frog was possessed and was hopping off the radio onto the top of my dresser.Quote:

So, no more 'possessed' frogs for me.
That's not why tree frogs bother me though. Regular frogs and toads? LOVE THEM!!!!
You don't like tree frogs? I have a red eyed tree frog, I call him Mr. Red, and he's gorgeous! Here's a picture of him. :)Quote:

Since we are swaping frog stories. My daughter lives on the big island and when I talk to her I hear these in the backround.

I would ask what is that and it's mom it's the frogs. lol
I think the frogs are great! I don't think they are scary. I even asked my four boys ranging in age from 6 to 13.
Cut those frogs into circles! I'm collecting animals for COC and for Marilyn's NICU/PICU. Kids love frogs, especially little boys! The slimier the better. lol :D
Ceramic frogs are the only ones I see around here lol There is a pond down at the bottom of the hill, so I would imagine there are some frogs down there (of the large, green variety of course) but I keep a ceramic frog on my front step. Not sure why, just saw him and thought he was cute :) Plus my house is green, so he kinda matches :D Can't say I've ever seen a tree frog, other than pictures.Quote:

Thanks for all the comments and frog stories from everyone!
Happy you decided to use the frogs. Love frogs!:D
Absolutely not. I use frogs and bugs and bees and worms and lizzards and all such things in my boy Linus quilts.
Here are a couple of the frog fabrics I found at Marshall Dry Goods.

Lol, that reminded me of how I used to catch frogs at my grandparents house in the summertime, and put them in a coffee can (let them go of course later) and it took me a long time to realize that "frogs dont actually smell like coffee"! (smart I know)Quote:
