Thank you sewextremeseams, it was fun to make.

This is a quilt for my great nephew. It was a hit. Mom held it and dad and grandpa did the Ispy. It was so funny and I know this will be used for years. Two board members sent me blocks to help with this one. Sorry the second pic is a little blury.

I just finished my second "I Spy Through Attic Windows" quilt and think of I Spy quilts as something one could use to play with a toddler. I Spy With My Little Eye, an airplane. Or a cowboy, or a school bus - any piece of fabric that has something a child could identify as part of the game. This weekend I'm starting on my third one - they are a lot of fun to make - now I just have to find a little kid to give it to.:o

I like the idea of the jar quilt. Kids and their treasures! My boys had a thing for rocks. One rock was so big that it collapsed the wall shelf it was on plus all the ones below it and landed on his pillow - luckily he was at school when it happened! That was the oldest one - he stopped collecting rocks after that for some reason.

A local quilt store had a sidewalk sale a couple of weeks ago. Got fat quarters for a $1 each. They had a lot of food fabrics so I went a little wild thinking of all the I spy quilts I could make and save - hopefully for grandkids.

Interesting...thanks for the history. I will be needing to make one in the near future and was a bit confused on the concept. I did also check the link posted earlier and got a lot of good ideas. These are such great projects to use up those bits and pieces of novelty fabrics!
