    Great quilt annasquilts. I like the idea of kids playing matching games with their quilts when they get together. My kids would enjoy that with cousins. Thanks for all the ideas.

    So MaryMo's other question is does anyone mind polka dots? I don't mind one or two for matching quilt but wanted all your opinion on it first.
    I would be very disappointed to get polka dots, as an I Spy exchange square.

    I'm now up to five sets and will send a PM, to make it official. My new fabric came in yesterday's mail . . . but there's one that would make such a sweet pillowcase, I can't bear to cut it. There's another I may or may not cut, so am gonna look around a bit more, before deciding. Here are the five, that are ready. All are pre-washed.

    I read the instructions again. They say that one set of 20 can be all one fabric or 20 different fabrics. Can one set be 10 of one fabric, 5 of another, 5 of another to get to a set of 20? Thanks!

    Givio, congrats on the new grandbaby...

    I don't see polkadots as "objects", per se. They are more shapes than recognizable objects. i do like the polka dot background on Annaquilts' I Spy, tho!

    Neesie my little girls would like all those fabrics and I think the cowboy hats would be great for a little boy I Spy quilt.

    I agree with Anna and others in that I would be disappointed to get polka dots. I would probably use the charms, but not in an I Spy.

    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 total agree...............

    I guess I've received a thorough chastisement. I'll use them in my I Spy quilt. Have fun!
