Here is what I call my 'cheater I Spy' The original I spy was a hexagon with triangles around it. Kinda fussy to piece...And too many fabrics for my little mind to handle. I make mine with a square and two snowball corners. When I trim off the triangles underneath, I make HST out of them and then sew them together for a flying goose. Those are used in my border. Match game! I think I have used this 4 or 5 times. I make mine with 6 inch blocks, but the size is your choice. Here is a picture:

This is my first "I Spy" quilt. Some of the squares are from the same yardage, but a different picture. **Like two different bugs, etc. It's fun to collect the fabrics too. Please share a picture of your quilt once it's done.
