I used four inches--it seemed best for not cutting up the novelties too much. I tried fives, but they looked so big--I wanted more than (what would look like) 12 blocks in my quilt!

That tute looks great--have fun with it. I love the Gourmet Quilter.

Me too! And, you did a super fab job on your quilt! Yup, big quilts are a challenge on a DSM, and you won and proved it can be done! Now, you have inspired us to think out of the box when it comes to I-Spy quilts. What other patterns can be used for an I-Spy? I suppose a lot!

I have been "threatening" to make my most unconventional son a bow tie quilt for years. (He is the kid who wore the black cowboy duster in high school, dresses as a pirate for Renaissance festivals (he is a photographer for these events) and is now in to viking reenactment.) He is sooooo not a bow tie guy but he does have a great sense of humor. Hummm....This might do. I could hide his eagle scout fabric, cub scout fabric and others in the quilt just for fun along with cameras, cats, books, Route 66. Can you tell I am really warming up to this thought.

Thanks for the good idea!
