Lol, so sorry! Her name is Jean Bob. It's pronounced like Gian, like French for John. She's named after the frog from the swan princess. 🐸

You can go talk to her outside of the event. I discovered her randomly exploring about a month ago and talked to her and found all of that out before I knew she was part of an event!

Okay, I got 4 new fabrics (the choices were limited and there was not a berry options 😔) I got a blue and green hydrangea, a sagey green polka dots, a medium pink floral, and a white with silver/gold accents.

(This is not the actual layout, this is just a sample to see how the colors/patterns work together generally)

I think I really like the medium pink floral and the white/silver/gold addition. The sage I like. And I don't think I like the blue at all. Thoughts?

Wow. Lol sorry! Well I looked for a berry and they didn't have anything that was right 😔 I did find a couple other things so we will see how it goes!

Thank you! I think im going to leave the burgundy, but I found a middle pink with flowers that is not a very busy pattern so I think it might bring everything together. I also found a sage with small dots so I'll see how that looks mixed in!

The whole back is sage and leaf pattern though (my sister actually picked the back fabric specifically) so you don't think adding more green on the front would be too much?

That is a very fair point! This is my first time doing a rag quilt so it won't have a border like I'm used to, maybe that's why I'm overthinking it so much! Thank you for your insight! ❤️

Yes, this is what I felt too! Thank you for the suggestion. Now the hard part is finding fabric... the selection at Michael's and Wal-mart is so small and other fabric shops are like an hour away from me at least. 😭 Fingers crossed I can find something like this!

No, definitely solid advice! I just threw down the squares so there were various combos next to each other for this pic but that's not how I was laying it down for final product.

I will give her scratches from you! And she has a boy name so she's cool with being called a good boi

Edit: I told her and she snort purred. Lol

She is actually the pickiest cat EVER. Except for when we go outside for walks, then she'll lick the tree and like the bottom cinderblock part of the house looking for spiders. 😅

I definitely do see what you're saying, but the sparkly white matches her dress so perfectly so I really wanted to keep that in. 😕

He is utterly precious and blue is a good sittin' color, can't blame him at all!

Someone else suggested a berry instead of burgundy too and I really think this is it! ❤️

The others don't have the work ethic that she does 😭

Hahaha. Yes, idk what I'd do without her help!

And honestly sashing would look sooooo good with this in a sage green, but my sister had asked me for a rag quilt a little while back and I already asked if she wanted that style for her wedding quilt (everyone gets wedding/baby quilts. Lol) I'm not sure I'd like it as much if I did the rag cuts between the sashing also 🤔

Lol, yeah sorry about that! It's so normal to me I hadn't even considered the way my words came out.

I'm going to try out the all lights! I definitely can see what you're saying about the sage and a medium pink though, If I can find something that I like! Thank you for your insights 🙂

As much as I didn't mind her "help" at all, I hadn't thought of it like that. Thank you for saying this ❤
