I adjusted the pattern just a little in that the inner square was trimmed to 5" instead of 4 3/4" and the outer square I trimmed to 6 3/4" instead of 6 1/2" and it made the points look a lot nicer, not perfect but better.

omgosh! I could not live there, having lived in Phoenix, AZ since I was 10 (minus 2 years in Flagstaff, AZ for college and 2 years after college in Denver, CO) After our company golf tournament was cancelled due to snow in May, I had to pack in and return to Phoenix! However, now I'm lucking I can go north to cool Flagstaff in the summer, yay for me I never have to shovel snow! Ah back to your fun quilt! I like it very much! thank you for sharing the pictures.

Keepsake Quilting also sells this pattern as a kit for $60 but I probably spent $25 for all the fabric for quilt.

Thank you! This is hugely helpful. This is a quilt I really want to make for my granddaughter.

I’ll have to remember this pattern for future I Spy quilts. You have a fun mix of pictures and fabrics for your grandson to enjoy.

Incredible amount of snow! Wow! Reminds me of a few years back here in Maryland when a blizzard dumped 28” on us. It’s beautiful, it makes for lots of hobby time, but then cabin fever sets in . We are due for 5-8” Tuesday/Weds . Better put in a new needle! Ha.
