Default I Spy quilts for grandchildren - finally finished them!

These were two I Spy quilts that I made for two of my grandchildren. They both turned 7 last year, but are from different families. The first quilt took me two years to finish. Partly because I'm new to quilting, and partly because I couldn't seem to get the patches to match up well.

I ended up making a template and painstakingly matching each single piece to it, then using Elmer's glue to glue the pieces together, sewing them together, match to the template again. Took *forever*!

The second one I got cut out and sewn up in about 3 months, thanks to my Fiskars Fuse die cutter machine and Accuquilt go dies. I love that Fuse....speeds things up incredibly.
