I would have reservations about making this particular quilt for a child with his problems, surely the multitude of colour etc would only cause him more anxiety and probably increase his ocd if he couldn't find a particular picture etc.

I finally finished the I Spy for my son. It took me awhile to finish it because I life has been busy and I have been extra achey. There were a couple of wonderful ladies on this board (you know who you are) that send me some I spy fabrics that I say I truly thank you. They told me to post pic when finished, so here we go. I also thought about what a few of you said about not making the I spy too busy as it might not help my son's anxiety and such. He loves it! Thank again for all of you who posted pics of your I Spy quilts! As always; the board rocks![ATTACH=CONFIG]548062[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548064[/ATTACH]
