I love I spy quilts. I have done swaps on the quilting board, check out the swap section. I have also purchased novelly prints on this board as well, plus gathering my own. It is quite fun but does take time to collect all the variety. You will have fun. Google I Spy quilts and you will see a variety of ways of doing them. I have made 6 I spy quilts and loved them all. I think they are posted on this board.

I participated in a "charm swap" here on this board. They have them often. Just keep watching or start one yourself.....I got a lot of very cute pieces that I used in several charity "I Spy" quilts....

I agree with Marcia D...I know i have some fun pieces I'd be happy to share. I want to eventually make I Spy quilts for my granddaughters and I have plenty of fabric It'd be fun to see where all the squares come from too

I have made several "I spy" quilts. I just started collecting. I bought 1/4 yards at JoAnn's or bought them from fat quarter spots on Ebay. I took the time to fussy cut them into 5" and 6" squares. I used 100 different blocks that were sashed in black. It's time consuming but probably the most used quilts I have ever made. Every time I see my Grand nieces they run for their quilt and we play I Spy...priceless.

I haven't seen any lately, but try looking for the panels for children's cloth books. I did one recently for my dentist's assistant. It was a book about jungle animals(sorry, no pics). Just used the pages for blocks and did wonky sashing.
