Scrappy Scraps Quilts

I Spy ... A Scrappy Quilt 

After a project is complete I cut the leftover fabric

into various size blocks as well as 2-1/2" x 6" strips.

When I read the last guild newsletter there was a

mention about I Spy quilts and a suggested pattern.

Since I had all these strips cut I decided to create 

my own pattern for fun.  

I Spy Quilts are . . . 

Quilts created with pictorial or novelty quilting fabrics -

 fabrics printed with objects that might not be obvious from a

distance but can be identified during a closer look at the quilt.

Sometimes quilters refer to I Spy quilt patterns as Eye Spy quilts.

 It's grab and sew without being particular what you

pair next to the other.

 These will be 2 different I Spy quilts.  The top one

has white fabric separating the prints {nautical theme}.  

The second quilt is a random pairing of fabric

 Trying to find a layout I'm happy with.

 Oh my!  Derby went nuts smelling this bag!  Yesterday 

Chris came by the house to drop off this bag with quilts that

needed bindings sewn on.  Chris has 2 cats and apparently

this bag has been to several quilters homes.

 Derby got himself all worked up sniffing the bag and the

quilts inside.  I finished all the quilts today and are safely

back in the bag on top of a tall table.  

 This I Spy quilt is done and ready for the next

step in the quilting process.

 Here is the final little nautical I Spy quilt ... also ready

for the next step in the quilting process.

Another one started.

After I finish this one that will be it for the

I Spy quilts for a while.
