Great I Spy jars, and a fun map on the back! Should keep him entertained for quite a while~

That is one of the nicest, most colorful and interesting I Spy quilts I've seen. Love the fabric DH found for the jar lids -- just perfect!

An interesting way to do an "I spy" quilt. Well done.

A couple years ago I purchased an assorted charm pack arranged with novelty prints in order A - Z. They were great! I purchased them from: http://www.ethelbird.com/pre-cuts/ however they only have a stack of hexies now that measure almost 5" on the straight edge. I emailed them and they said they hope to carry the charm packs again soon, so keep looking. Maybe hexies would work for some patterns, including the bug jars????
