Here's the quilt from my Avatar.

I made it for a work colleague's son.

The I Spy quilts are fabulous ! I'm still collecting novelty prints for mine.

Someone on the Board awhile back showed how to piece the 9-patch so that when you cut and reassemble all the corner focus/novelty fabrics are upright; that is, the dog/boat etc is not upside down or sideways.

No pictures but look for a Disappearing 9 patch I-spy. I just helped my sister make one and it is cute as a button.

I need to look that up because that's why I've never made a DP9... I'm too OCD to have my stuff upside down... LOL!

Ooooooh... this is fabulous! I would have never been sharp enough to think of a nifty setting like that! Thanks for sharing it with us!

My favorite is the "I Spy" with the hexagons - unfortunately I don't have any photos because I have given them to the small children for whom they were made. One was with 3 inch hexagons and the other was 5 inch. Since I did fussy cutting each one it was a lot easier to do the 5 inch. When there was still MLB fabric available I did one with all the teams for my daughter. But it is on her couch and no picture available. The children's quilts I used red for the triangles and it really made them pop.

The way to layout your I spys for a disappearing 9 patch so they stay in the direction you want is contained in the link posted earlier"

If the link doesn't work just search the blog.

For some, like the square in a square, I did not have as great a variety of prints so I used FQ.
