I'm working on this disappearing nine patch - I Spy quilt. The picture doesn't show the true colors - bright pink with silver for the corner squares and the cream settings are really silver.

I haven't sewn the blocks together yet. I have about 1/2 the block here - and more to finish sewing. I guess it's okay. But I just think it looks kind of plain.

Any thoughts or advise?

Thanks for your help.

I think it looks great. I might think about a narrow dark border, and a wider one in the dark pink and silver. I think that would make it POP. But I have to say I think it is really pretty.

I think with a border and once it's quilted you will not think it is so plain. It's going to be really pretty when done.

I agree, it is very pretty now and a border or two can make the fabrics in the center pop :D:D:D

I like it. To me it looks really precious - like gems set in silver, a very calm and cool sort of beauty. Perhaps not the usual super-flashy-bright I-spy... but that's just what strikes me about it, it's unique and very beautiful.

The white was a good choice to make your I Spy blocks stand out. I agree with the others that with borders and quilting this will be a fabulous quilt.

Okay, I guess I'll quit worring and get to sewing. Thanks!! I think you are right once those borders get on it will pop and I'll be happy. Whew - what a relief to be able to come here and get some advise.

I like it!

Sometimes you just get so wrapped up in the project that you need another opinion. Glad we could help.

Beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing.

I think it will look great.

Lovely quilt, be sure to show us the finished project.

Your quilt is going to be fabulous when you are finished. Please post pics when you are done. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way it looks. Add a couple borders and it will be perfect. Great job.

It's sweet and calming - I like it so far.

I like it, D9P is one of my favorite blocks. A narrow border with the pink will add a lot.

looking great so far

I really like the calming colors for a change on your I Spy quilt! Great job, finish it, it's beautiful!!!!
