A little I Spy Quilt.
 

I've been fascinated by I Spy quilts since I saw my first one a few years ago at a local quilt show. I had some of these fabrics already, and some are not typical I Spy collections (the music notes, the houses, the stars) but I just wanted to experiment with making one so included what I had.

Since I sometimes have a problem getting the back on straight, I worked hard to make sure the row of jars on the back lined up with those on the front. And yet the quilting shows that they were not perfectly aligned. I used Elmer's School glue to "baste" the sandwich together and maybe it was just not secure enough. Also the tan "shelving" (sashing) is WOF and I may have pulled it out of alignment when quilting. I like quilting my own small quilts....or rather, I'm glad when I've done them......but I don't enjoy wrestling them in and out of the hoop of my DSM.

In any case, this one was fun to do and learn from. [ATTACH=CONFIG]511877[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]511879[/ATTACH]

This is so cute! I usually don't like I spy but what a great idea! May have to copy this!

very nicely done!

great quilt front and back!

Love the back! I love interesting backs. Great fabric choices :)

I think you did great on the front and the back. And I recognize some if those fabrics from my collection.

It came out very nice!

I love that. I might have to do one.

That is such a cute idea.
