WIP - my first bed sized quilt!
I am making two I Spy quilts - one for each grandchild and I finally have
the first one all pieced except for the borders! It is twin size and just the second quilt I've ever made. Yes, it still is a WIP but I finally have the 108 four inch squares sewn together with sashings. I'm using one of the patterns from the Ami Simms Picture Play book. I have two of each fussy cut square so that the kids can play match games in addition to I Spy games with it. When I was arranging the squares on my design wall my DH kept coming in and trying to match up all the pictures! Maybe I should make him an I Spy quilt too! This will be my first attempt in sewing on borders as I did not use them in my first small quilt. I am also curious how the machine quilting progress will go when I do get the layers all put together as this will be the largest top I have tried to quilt on my machine. But I love learning new things! I have pics of the top minus borders and also a picture of the border fabrics: http://community.webshots.com/album/198414237nLzCdf Everyone here has been so helpful to me in learning and keeping up on this wonderful new hobby of mine! Thanks to all of you! Bonnie -- http://community.webshots.com/user/bonnied9 delete "removespam" to reply |

Oh Bonnie, that is beautiful.
It's so bright and cheerful and busy. You've done the sashing and cornerstones very well - looks great. Your grandson is going to be thrilled to bits. ..

Thanks Tricia! I think I Spy quilts are a lot of fun and I've had a great
time working on this one. By the way, I love your Storm at Sea quilt! Someday I hope to make one of those. Bonnie -- http://community.webshots.com/user/bonnied9 "A&T" wrote in message ink.net...
