I Spy Flowers

I got another idea and had to cut some stuff out and fuse some stuff....and piece one block. haha
When you cut pieces with the accu cut machine, there are usually more scraps than I am comfortable with throwing away. So, I saved these pieces.....the flowery cut out parts will be on a quilt that you will see in a couple days. haha  there are about 80 of them or so.

When you look at the back, there is fusible on there. so, i trimmed them down to a 5" square...

And cut some solid colors to a 6 1/2" square......

In a truckload of stuff I got a few weeks ago, there were hundreds.....probably thousands of I Spy hexies cut out. I am not fond of hexies. and there might have been just one of some designs....but a dozen of other designs. most all of them were multiples. this old lady must have planned on making dozens of I Spy quilts.

So, I made a plan.....don't you love it? haha

I fused the 5" cut out part to the 6 1/2" colored square and sewed an I Spy hexie in the middle. Viola!!   one block.....only 66 more to go. haha

Sometimes I wish my brain would quit coming up with new ideas. I always have to stop whatever i'm doing and get things together and make a block so i'll remember what I planned to do with pieces in a box. I need about 12 or 20 worker bees to each take an armful of boxes and sew up all these cool ideas in boxes. hahahahaha
