I Spy Quilts are made of blocks fussy cut from novelty fabrics. The child make a game of finding and identifying the various objects--for example, "I spy a frog".
I did not use Ami Sims book, but she has one that has suggestions for various games.
The blocks can be entertaining as well as educational.
The pattern can be be any shape the quilter desires. squares, snowballs, hexagons, or irregular.
Thanks to all of you for your kind replies. It is great to have one quilt done, but I will do a happy dance when I the other two quilted and bound.
Thanks for clearing up the "I Spy" question. I was starting to think it might be something along that line but wasn't sure. I'm making a puzzle quilt from novelty fabrics right now that would "almost" qualify. :)
