While looking at the quilts in my book, we discovered that this little embroidered frog on my quilt:
is the same exact frog as on this quilt in my book:
They're reversed, but it's the same pattern. Was I at all surprised with this discovery? No. Embroidery patterns in the Victorian days were mass produced and "shared" almost as much as they are now. I just thought it was kind of cool!

That is, indeed, a fascinating discovery! Very cool!
Someone once told me that frogs are supposed to bring prosperity. Are there similar superstitions attached to other quilt embellisments?
I'm glad you're enjoying your book.
