I Spy Quilt

Friday, November 6, 2015

After joining Pinterest, I found an I Spy quilt that I liked, so I started collecting fabrics. I got fabrics from scrap bags, fat quarters, and even got some from other quilters!

I used a disappearing nine patch pattern, but modified it. Each corner was an I Spy print, but all the other squares were white. For the three squares in the middle, I just cut one rectangle. The squares are 3 1/2". I purchased a 3 1/2" acrylic square to fussy cut the I Spy fabrics.

I started sewing the blocks on May 7, 2014 and finished the top on May 12, 2014. I took the quilt top to "Sew and Tell" at the Piney River Quilt Guild that I belonged to in 2014.

I bought backing fabric at FM Stores in Springfield, Missouri. I bought the binding fabric at the Cabool, Missouri drug store during a fabric sale.

I had it quilted by longarmer, Kathy Michel. I gave it to her Halloween weekend 2014 and got it back January 8, 2015. It cost $14 to have it quilted with an allover stipple design.

I gave it to my oldest son for Christmas 2015 (he was 2 1/2). He loves it!

  1. This is one of the best eyespot quilts I’ve seen. By using all the same fabric you’ve given the blocks lots of movement which suits the theme perfectly!

  2. I love this pattern. I am from Houston, MO and have shopped many times in the Drug store in Cabool, MO. Thank you for helping me. I am making a Pikachu I spy quilt for my granddaughter.
