    Default I Spy Using Cheater Fabric

    Someone in our family is expecting their 4th child. I have made more detailed quilts for each of the children, but decided to do a quick project this time. It is an "I Spy" cheater cloth quilt, and it ended up looking better than I expected. It also gave me practice in straight line quilting.

    Thanks, Tartan!
    This fabric has been around for at least 10 years, I think. I purchased a few yards of it recently at a yard sale (just in time for this project). It is a Dreamspinners V.I.P. Crantson Printworks fabric.

    The baby will be a girl, so the heart fabric for the backing seemed like a good choice. The polka dot is a border, not part of the panel.

    Looks like it's already pieced. They're fun for practicing quilting whether hand or DSM or la.
