Default "I Spy" quilts

I want to make an "I Spy" baby quilt for a friend, who already has a 3 year old. I think it will be fun for the 2 little boys to play "I Spy" with each other, and for the older boy to "teach" the younger one the names of things.

My question is this: how in the world do you accumulate enough fabric to complete such a quilt?? Since I want a lot of variety, I'll need a lot of interesting fabrics to "fussy cut" the objects. I haven't been able to find charm packs with novelty items in them, and it would cost too much to buy a yard of material just for one small block. [I don't have these kinds of fabric in my stash].

So if you've made an "I Spy" quilt, please tell me how you collected/found the fabric without breaking the bank!

Thanking you in advance,

Jory
