Looking for Novelty jelly rolls
I would like to make a baby quilt of little novelty squares. Tractors, food, books, bikes etc. ,"things that would catch the eye of a little one. I found a couple, but aren't very exciting. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Donna

Maybe look for Eye Spy type of fabric? I only see precut fabric in charms though. I made a quilt using strips I cut from all kinds of bright colors and kid's prints but I cut the strips from my own fabrics.

You could request those kind of fabrics on this board. I have sent out pieces of fabric to other QB members who just need a little piece of novelty fabric. You would be amazed at how quilters always want to help one another. I know I have some novelty fabric but it is in the shed in our back yard and at this time we are so snowed in that I couldn't get to it for awhile. Just PM me if you have something specific you would like ie: animals, cars etc. Also, you could specify size of fabrics you need.

I participated in a couple of I-Spy swaps on this board. You cut 3 fabrics into squares and sent it to the host and got enough unique squares to make a quilt. I have als collected enough half yards to make my own kits, but that took a while.

Lots of good ideas here. I look forward to seeing your quilt. When I was getting ready to make a crazy quilt, I went to the LQS and got 4.5" of a dozen interesting fabrics. Swapping sounds better to me. Probably others would like to make an eye spy too.
