I forgot to say that I accidentally cut one more row of the i-spy pieces, so my quilt is a couple of inches longer than the one in the MSQC video. The pattern is very forgiving. I had a couple of yards of the forest green Kona on hand, but if I'd been short, making the quilt a little smaller would have easily been just as doable. Everything was from my stash except the back, and you can use a jelly roll or leftover from several jelly rolls for the "zipper" parts. I cut the green fabric, but you could also use a jelly roll for the background, speeding it up even more. Another thing you could do is run the "zippers" across rather than up and down, and if you want a very quick, modern look, make only one "zipper" and run it diagonally across your background and maybe skip the outer border. You will have long bias edges in that case, which might be hard to handle. Prevention would be to run stay stitches on either side of where you are going to slash the background fabric beforehand. The quilting on this quilt was done on my embroidery machine and is an edge-to-edge dinosaur design from Etsy seller, MadebyYustin.
