A friend of mine put out a request for "I Spy" prints. I remembered that I have part of a layer cake of kid prints left over from when I made my grandson's baby quilt. I pulled some of the prints and passed the rest along to her. I also had a few leftover 5" squares, so I pulled those as well. Pink unicorns? OK, just one square. A search through my stash yielded some bright colors to frame up the patches.
Framing the blocks on two sides was quick and easy. Now to lay out the blocks on my design wall.
It's nice to play with a variety of fabrics and do some mindless sewing in between my work on my Pickle Dish project. Nice to use up some stash, too. This will be a flimsy by the end of the month.

Lovely idea to frame the fun prints on two sides. There will be a lot of fun to look through and the bright colors to anchor it together. :)
ReplyDeleteBright, colorful and happy; some little boy is going to love it!!! So wonderful of you to make a donation quilt for each month of 2018! Bless your heart!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo-sided frame, great idea. I like the look.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to frame the prints, it looks great. Someone is going to be very happy to receive this.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute!
ReplyDeleteFun! I like the two sided frame, quick and easy. All those fun fabrics will definitely entertain a kid :) I came across my I-spy stash recently and have been thinking about working on another one.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for the blocks. I made the grands some I Spy quilts, and just put a solid piece across the middle with their name on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever, quick I Spy quilt. Those blocks will be fun to look through for little ones.
ReplyDeleteVery fun and bright. It will be a great quilt for a little boy.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan, that's such a good idea for a block, can I borrow it? I have just finished my January quilt for Project Linus UK and put it on my blog. It's nice to have someone to join up to for the monthly quilt, very encouraging too!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week,
Sue
This is lovely. I adore eye-spy quilts. I also do charitable quilting each month. I have a few favorite charities that I return to all year. I think it's good to do a boy quilt as often as possible. Great job. I hope we'll see the finished quilt as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great setting for an eye-spy quilt. Some little boy is going to absolutely love this.
