also you can 'i spy' something red, blue, long, short, tall, hot, cold,
soft, hard, slimey, etc. i spy something that makes honey, pollinates flowers, growls, roars, purrs, hums, the cat loves to lie in, the birds love to wash in/eat, the dog loves to play with, daddy loves to watch on tv, etc. the older they get the more complicated the 'i spy' can become. its great to think up different scientific/biological things that fit the bill. theres no end to the concepts or attributes you can look for/find on any quilt . jeanne -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar Diana Curtis wrote: Your quilt, your rules. Im making two, one for DD, one for DGS, and they wont be identicle, and even if they were I wouldnt go to the bother of listing the items. Let the kids do that on a rainy day. It will help them with their handwriting and spelling. :-) "Irrational Number" wrote... I like that! They gotta do some work, too! -- Anita -- |

I didn't make a list of names, or anything else. The kids would lose it
anyway....... G Remember this is supposed to be fun, for you and the kids. Pati, in Phx Irrational Number wrote: Pati Cook wrote: Anita, I don't think there are any "rules" for an "I Spy" quilt. Just put it together any way you want. Sometimes there are 2 of the same/similar things so that the child can match them, sometimes just lots of different things. Cool. I have made a "Concentration" quilt before (two of every kind to match). The ones I made are huge quilts, but the kids seem to love them. Not in any alphabetical order, and I didn't even lay them all out to get a "good" color placement. I just tried to not have the same main color hexes too close together. These are supposed to be fun, so have fun when making it. (And don't know about "extra" spaces, I just did the quilts as big as I had stuff to cut hexes from, and yes I have some sort of repeats but tried to get different parts of the same fabric and no two exactly the same. And I made 3 at the same time. With different color triangles. G ) I'm making 2 or 3 at the same time. I'm toying with all one-colour triangles or all different primary-coloured triangles... It _IS_ fun! (I have not cut any triangles yet; still collecting fabric.) The HGTV site says to have a list of all the names, do I need to do that? -- Anita -- |
