I didn't realize so many of you girls were commenting on this swap here! I just read through all the posts and it was entertaining. :-) I thought just trading fabric with others would be fun, but I see it's fun talking about it too! My third grandchild was born today--another little girl! and I'm looking forward to making her a quilt using I Spy charms.

I think polka dots go under stripes and such. I like polka dot material but it doesn't fit the criteria of an I Spy swap. I do not put it in I Spy quilts but might make I Spy quilts with it. If I receive it I would be disappointed and not use it. I am doing 6 twists and I used the same criteria for the twists as the I Spy swap.
I like the double prints for possibly making memory quilts but more often I use it in two different quilts. I have twins and I find siblings or cousins like similar or same prints in their quilts too.
Here is an I spy I made for a girl using yardage of polka dot print.

I've also seen people make quilts with the same fabrics but different layouts with matching squares, especially for grand kids or nieces/nephews of similar ages. That way, when the kids get together they can play matching games with their quilts.
