month has become a favorite for so many quilters and it s always exciting to see a new year begin 2026 monthly color challenge a free quilt block of the month for 2026 our color inspiration is coming from frogs when i first decided on that idea i ll admit i hesitated would there really be enough variety to carry us through an entire year but as usual mother nature knew exactly what she was doing from subtle neutrals to bold unexpected pops of color our frog friends have plenty to offer we have a year of beautiful color ahead of us photo by trevor persons maine department of inland fisheries and wildlife our color this month is green and inspired by the northern leopard frog a frog i remember trying to catch often as a child according to wikipedia the northern leopard frog is a larger species of frog and can reach 4 3 inches in length these frogs tend to be mostly green or brown with black spots but there are some that do not have spots and there are even some blue ones it s amazing what you learn when you go looking for frog inspired color the fabrics i am using this year are whisper weave and whisper weave too they are basics from benartex and have a wonderful texture to give these blocks some movement february s colors are peppermint and evergreen each month comes with its own how to video i walk you through how to cut stitch and trim every part of the block so no matter your skill level you can make each block with us you can find the link to the how to video each month at the bottom of the pdf instructions this month we are making the ohio star block with a
