There are lots of pictures on this site. She also has a pattern book out featuring I Spy type fabrics.
I think it's called "Picture Play Quilts" ami simms I spy quilts |
I really find your quilt with the white squares and the black sashing inspiring, but I suspect the square size is smaller than I would like for bigger scale prints and time constraints. I'm also guessing both quilts are twin sized?

It finished at approximately 56 x 74 inches I used warm and Natural batting, brushed arnel for the border and back,
and cotton t-shirt knit fabric for the binding. Sorry - can't find a picture of it - but it is THE favorite couch cover at my daughter's home! |

I used 5-inch squares for the I-Spy centers, then bordered and sashed them.

The traditional I spy is too fussy for me....So I tried this one instead. Just snowball triangles in two corner. Extra corners cut off were saved for the border. It takes me longer to pick the fabrics than to make it...just about!

love I Spy quilts and have made and have made perhaps 7. My all time favorite is this one: http://www.happyquiltingmelissa.com/...-festival.html
I have pictures posted in the I Spy search site. Disappearing 4 patches are fun and I have also done two with a wonky square within a square. google I Spy quilts images and you will be inspired by all the various ways to create this fun quilt. Get started collecting those novelty prints. There is often a swap on the board, plus I was able to obtain squares for sale on the board as well. |

I've made tons of them for kids... just simply sewing 5" blocks together. I like to use 80 and do an 8 x 10 layout. Sometimes I do pairs of blocks, for a "matching" game.

Hi Gannyrosie... I LOVE your HST I Spy quilt layout!
