Thanks, I think I am leaning this way. I'm not sure how many different motifs I can find.

You can buy I spy cam squares on Ebay. I bought 100, some of the fabrics too thin, but most were good quality. I made bean bags to match some of the squares to add another game to play. Caught them playing this version of the game. One kid lay under the blanket while the other two threw the bean bags at him. They were all laughing like crazy.

Heres some squares. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=...sPageName=GSTL

This is my first "I Spy" quilt. Some of the squares are from the same yardage, but a different picture. **Like two different bugs, etc. It's fun to collect the fabrics too. Please share a picture of your quilt once it's done. :)

Having more than one of any motif will help kids learn to count and focus. I like this idea.

I have seen them with repeats and also without. It is your call, and of course how many different fabrics you have! I have seen some great collections of precuts on eBay for ispy quilts---I think you get what you pay for---the nicer ones that have been properly fussy cut are a little pricier.

HillCountryGal...love it!

I use the Accuquilt Go die (in my Fiskars Fuse) to cut hexagons/triangles. I can cut all the triangles in about 2 hours.

I usually make the quilt about 60" x 60", which is 12 hex's across, and 12 down. And then JoAnn's has a nice batting that fits that size which I always buy on sale.

I make every hex different. I collect fabrics all the time, cut them into 5" squares, and then trade any leftovers on-line. They have a nice swap here often enough. I also buy pre-cut sets on e-bay. You can get some pretty nice sets if you watch.

Thank you Nanax4... after I finished it, I wished I'd done it in snowballs and not squares. Oh well, next time.
