I Spy Swap #2--CLOSED NOW AT 40
#33
Well mine are all washed, dried, ironed and cut, yeah! I am ready for all your squares come flying in.
My pile of I Spy squares from the previous swaps is growing into a mountain. I use my squares along with mosher92 to make I Spy quilts for needy kids for christmas so I will keep doing the swaps until everyone is sick of them.

I posted this in main or pictures, but I'm posting it here, also
Some fabrics, in my opinion, are more usable in an I Spy type quilt when they are fussy cut than cut "wherever"
There usually is some waste when fussy cutting. I've also learned to take a taped 5-inch square with me to audition fabrics before buying.
Some fabric prints seem to work out better cut in larger or smaller squares. And some just don't seem to "work" at all, cute as they seemed to be.
