My I-Spy Quilts
 
5 Attachment(s)
Some of my on-line friends from another forum sent me a lot of their leftover specialty fabrics. I made these quilts from their generosity.

Then, when I was cleaning up my cutting area I had all these small strips leftover, so I made this one.

You are the guardian angel of children and quilts and small strips. You go girl.

I don't use a lot of specialty or theme fabric myself unless some one requests it. I love all of these quilts. I would be just like a kid looking for all the great things in them. This is one case where more is better.

I just finished a quilt in the plus sign pattern and it just shows how versatile and wonderful this pattern can be.
I just love them!
peace

Very pretty quilts. You are very prolific.

Great quilt tops and you have been busy!

Very nice. I love "I Spy" quilts. You were very creative with your variations.

Diane007 05-08-2013 01:58 PM

lots of happy colours

I just finished two I spy quilts, aren't they fun? I have made 5 so far and have two more I am prepping for. Thanks for the idea of the little scraps. I was going to use them as a piano key border, but I think you have a clever way of joining them and then using a sashing. Thanks for sharing.

Love them all. What fun for little kids to find all the cute pictures in those.

I love #4 and #5. Not sure which I like the best.

They are lovely. Well done - I love seeing what others do with scraps.

ArtsyOne 05-09-2013 02:37 AM

Those little kids are going to be so busy finding all of the hidden things in those quilts. Nice job!

Gannyrosie 05-09-2013 03:35 AM

Some awesome quilts here!

Quilts like these are intellectually stimulating as well as cute as can be. These are the first I Spy I've seen in the + pattern and they're really effective.

MaryMo 05-09-2013 09:18 AM

:thumbup: So much creativity! I-Spy quilts are fun to make and these are very inspiring.

Charming Addition I-Spy Quilts
 
5 Attachment(s)
Some of my on-line friends sent me their scraps of kids and novelty fabrics and I made some Charming Addition quilts to add to my guild's donation quilts. I reworked the pattern to save having to make so many seams. It also makes the quilt much quicker to put together. I made these five quilts over a period of four days.

When I cleaned up my cutting area, I had a lot of strips (1-1/2" to 3") and so I made this quilt.

This is my version of the block. I made the blocks out of 3" x 8" strips and 3" squares.

The layout is fairly easy, but a design wall makes it a little easier. Sorry about the graphic, but my drawing program wasn't co-operating.

Lots of fun things to look at! Great job on these! :)

Lovely quilts. I love making I SPY quilts and I love giving them away. My friends let me know almost immediately if a new blessing is coming to their house.

hperttula123 05-10-2013 02:04 PM

those are so cool!!! Kids love I-spys

SusanSusan33 05-10-2013 03:27 PM

Very nicely done!! My hat is off to you!

Teddybear Lady 05-10-2013 03:38 PM

Thank you for sharing your pattern. I printed it for future reference. I like the use of this pattern with the novelty fabrics. Sure to keep a kid busy playing "I spy"!
