I Spy Quilt

 Last year I made an I Spy quilt for my coworker's cousin. I'd been collecting novelty fabrics for a while, knowing there were more I Spy quilts in my future

I so enjoyed selecting fun prints

And I put 110 different ones in this special quilt. Edited to add a better photo here 2 years later. This quilt has been washed often and loved well

                           

Sandy added the perfect quilting patterns called Jigsaw and it finishes at 60 x65

I added this fun stripe for the binding and the blue dot, both from my stash.

This was a birthday gift for our granddaughter and it was a hit


She was captivated


As was I, watching her discover each square

At one point she saw a square with Santa and she piped up enthusiastically, "Ho Ho"! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Last week I took a huge stack of squares to work to share with another coworker. She wants to make 2 for her granddaughters and another friend wants to make 4. I have enough fabric to fill all their needs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think it's safe to say, this quilt will be well-loved

It was made with love with prayers stitched into every seam for this special little nugget

Our church is sponsoring an Ukrainian family and we made an I Spy quilt for the children. It helps them learn English, I’m told.

This is so cute, and your granddaughter is darling! She’s a great quilt model! Aren’t grandchildren the best?
