Portland Protest Frog in Alternate Dear Jane Universe


Long, long time ago in a different state, I made the Dear Jane (top, no borders) quilt. I made it using Kaffe Fassett fabric. And along the way I discovered that Dear Jane had an alternate universe set of blocks on the back that were never published. As I put away the Stonefield OOSOOMUFO (Out of Sight, Out of Mind UFO), I pulled out the Alternate Universe Dear Jane quilt blocks. They also finish at 4.5 inches and I have used mostly Kaffe Fassett fabric for these too. 

Looking at the images I still have ahead of me, I was very shocked to see a Portland Protest  Frog (an inflatable costume that creates its own alternate universe). And now, living across  the country in Oregon instead of Virginia, I knew what this image meant, so I made the block.


Here is the Portland Protest Frog with some of the other blocks from the Alternate Dear Jane Universe. I think I may have to move this to LSWHWILTOITMOE UFO (Let's See What Happens When I Leave This Out In The Middle Of Everything UFO) status.

Re your last post, I'm so happy to have a name (acronym) for all those boxes, bags, envelopes and, drawers, scattered all over my house.

"Let's See What Happens When I Leave This Out In The Middle Of Everything UFO".

It becomes a cat bed.

I love your Portland Protest Frog! Who'd a thunk it? I wonder if any of those other blocks will end up with a protest name?

Nice closeup of the blocks so I can see them so much better!

The acronym is a little long, but I agree with MissPat.
