5 inch FUN!

Today I'm working away on my I SPY quilt.
Carla had a swap in the summer and I played along.
I even had a bunch of blocks pieced together....
but I never finished it!

It needed a few more 5" I spy squares...
I'm sure
You know how that goes.....
You set it aside waiting to get more fabric...
and then.....
it gets forgotten! :/

My little girl's birthday is NEXT week
and I would love to get this one done for her!!!

Most eight year olds would not really appreciate this quilt..
but my little girl has some developmental delays and
I KNOW
She's going to have some fun with this one!!
;)
It makes my stitching time
VERY happy
thinking about her sweet disposition
and
her enjoyment of LIFE!!!

I'm kind of proud of myself for piecing some of the blocks
that needed to GROW to be 5 inches!
Isn't that owl cute???

and these big trucks needed a little whimsy as they GREW!
;)

One of my VERY favorite blocks!
My DREAM vacation home!

O.K.
All I need now is a small white border....
a lot of little scrappy pieces around the outside....
Quilting....
Binding.....
Can I get it together by next week????

I think I can...I think I can...I think I can.....

    I love Eye Spy quilts. It looks as though you have a lot of fun charms in yours. I'm sure your daughter will have fun with it.

    I haven't had the occasion to make an I Spy yet but would like to someday. Your little girl will really enjoy looking for all the figures. It will be a great conversation piece. My kids used to love the Where's Waldo books and this is similar.
    good luck getting it finished!

    I'm sure she'll love it. An 8 year old AND a grand child - you spread them out a bit! ll

    Great quilt love the assortment of blocks. Never thought to make a spy block bigger. Wonderful idea. She will love it and of course you'll have it done. I have faith in you.
