Question???? What size do you usually make I spy play quilts? I think I made mine too big. The top is 45 X 60. Looking at it, it looks kind of big for a toddler to drag around.

The two "baby" quilts I've made have been about 36 x 45. I plan on doing my "drag around" blankets this size for a few reasons... I can usually get queen-sized batting at a good price, and I can cut one into six pieces for this size quilt. It's an easy size to carry around and lay on/under for most little kids. It's also a good size for kid picnics, tea parties, etc. And it's a good size for using in the car.
Another bonus-- I can buy one yard for my backing fabric, and just adjust the length to the width of that fabric. |

Glad to have as many as we do - as I said earlier, I was afraid holiday plans would cut down on the amount of swappers. Happy to have all of you! |
Yea for another swapper :) I'm looking forward to see the kind of fabrics everyone else has.

Mine are all packed up and ready to fly... just need to hear from rbwiese. It will be fun to see what everyone sends.

I like giving some different ways to make I Spy quilts - I like this Disappearing 9 Patch - a way to stretch the amount of I Spy squares needed.
http://obsessivelystitching.blogspot...ring-nine.html I like how the borders separate the colors in this quilt. http://cindyloussouthernsewing.blogs...h2h-quilt.html Have a happy day! |
Clmay - I received yours yesterday. Can't get my list marked off correctly on the first try! Sorry!

I usually just sew my squares together with no sashing. I like the "chaotic" look. This one is a "find the pairs" I Spy, with two of each print scattered throughout. It's an 8 x 10 layout (80 squares of 40 pairs) and comes out about 37 x 47" after binding.
