    It will turn out very nice. Love the African fabrics. My dear friend just came back from Africa after doing an 8 year missionary stint there. I was thinking of doing an African themed quilt to go in the family room. I will have to check out these fabrics. Thanks.

    What color are your points going to be? I see red, blue and orange? Which size are you using?

    I started one several years ago. I didn't have very many 'I Spy' type fabrics when I started so I packed it away for later. Of course, I've been collecting fabric for this ever since then and now I could probably make quite a few if I cut all the fabric up like I should. I just keep getting fabric and throwing it into the box but haven't done any more cutting or sewing. My points were going to be a deep beautiful red. I have those all cut. Guess I should dig it out and get moving on it. Just another UFO. I was using the smaller size center which I think kinda put me off when I discovered the larger one. But I have so many of the smaller ones cut.

    I will do this, I will do this, I will do this . . . . .

    I love I Spy Quilts! This one is great! Never thought of a theme for one; good idea. Can't wait to see it finished.
