I Spy .... sort of

I saw this I Spy quilt on Riel Nason's blog.  she does some cool stuff.....go check her out.   www.quispamsisquilter.blogspot.com  

Sometimes i just see something and have to go do it myself. LOL   so Sunday i got out the AccuQuilt machine and cut some squares. Riel's were 4"...but mine were 3.5"...that part doesn't really matter. and she put 12 across and i used 13.....just using up the squares that i had cut.


This went together so quickly...it was amazing. i stitched the rows of blocks together last night...


And put the rows together this morning. the rows are 2.5" wide and the border is 6" wide. her design is simple but eye catching.


This turned out to be  50"x60". perfect donation kid size. i am going to make a few more. for now this will marinate in the to-be-quilted cabinet.


                                  

I just got these squares out of my scrap boxes. i am going to go through again and cut squares out of everything. i'm going to see if i can make one with all the squares different. that's about 150 squares....bet i can do it.

But before i get into that...i have to go finish quilting the Home and Harvest top. i will be done with the quilting today except for the background. and i'll probably make a good dent in the background, too. gonna try and have it finished by tomorrow.

So, back to work....talk to ya

Later
