There's only one LQS near me and they don't have any. The nearest JoAnn's is almost 100 miles away and we don't get there very often and I don't know if they carry it... I thought to make an I Spy lap robe for my Mom; she has the beginning of Alzheimers and I thought something like that might help keep her mind sharper. I've got about a dozen 4" squares that I found in among my small stash but that won't make much of a lap robe, will it?! lol

cande, if you pm me with your mailing address I'll be glad to send you some fabric you can use. It's great that you're making this for your mom.

Me too,PM me
..you can find I-spy squares on ebay..pretty cheap, just watch the shipping costs also here: http://www.craftconn.com/Main.asp?Ta...productID=5425 relook at the fabrics you have at home..things like flowers,grass,bird houses..stars etc..you could even throw in a few solids..as whats that "color" The best way to get them is a swap.. 4 inches is pretty small IMHO for I-spy, you want to be able to get the main pattern centered.. mine are at least 6 inches.. i have some i can send you though..you'll have to cut them down from 6 or 8 inches. i just finished one for a Christmas Gift. I Spy for Lila [ATTACH=CONFIG]62474[/ATTACH] |
When searching on the net...use the terms novelty, and I Spy :wink:

Thank you, watterstide and soniboo. You have PMs. That is a really pretty quilt, wish the squares I have are bigger because 6" would be nicer but guess I'll have to go with what I have. I'll check on E-bay and also the link and see waht I can find.

PM your address. I have lots of I Spy fabrics to share. |
Thank you, redquilter. I was just going to sew the squares together in rows but you've given me another idea.
You have a PM |
I just saw a bunch on ebay. I was looking at something else and one thing lead to another and I ended up on ebay. I wish I hadn't ended up there - I saw so many candy prints I don't have. I plan to make a jar quilt and have some prints but I did not realize there were so many new ones. Some time soon (I hope) I will be able to go get my things from my sisters - as of now I am living with one of my sons - helping them out by taking care of my granddaughter(and job hunting now) - I only brought a few patches I had started on -wasn't planning to stay. When I do get my things I hope to do some trading on here. I will check with you too to see if I have anything you'd like.

You could also border the I SPY squares and adjust the width of the border depending on the size of the square. What types of things are you looking for? Most of my I SPY squares are 5" (from the swap) and they are kid-stuff, but there are some with butterflies and cupcakes and such that I could send you.
Send pm with addy. |
I saw an attic window type quilt with I Spy squares in the middle that looked really cute. Can't remember where though. You could probably google attic window if you are interested.

Cande - I'm going to the post office this AM and will be sending you some squares. Hope you like them.
|
I can guarantee I'll like everything that anyone sends me! I'll be watching my mailbox and will let you know when a package arrives.
|
it went out this morning..:)

I had fun with the swap we just completed on the I spy 5" blocks. I have some extra fabric, if you pm me with your address I will send you some. Mostly children designs, but I can send you some fabric that is not.
|
If you pm me, I can give you some too.
|
So glad you got your squares, and just to let you know..i got your card today..I can't wait to see what you come up with! I really think you can use a mix of sizes..the I spy squares.
there are ladies here with the quilt programs.EQ..and would love to draw up a design for you! just have to tell them the sizes.. |
If you pm me your address I will try to send you some 4" squares that you can use. I have lots of 4" squares but not alot of i spy ones but you might b able to make do with them.
Remind me in the pm what you need. Judy in Ohio |
