Beginners and Enders….

This is my way of working on two projects at once! In one of the bees that I am in one of the members asked if we had any novelty prints that we could share. She was looking for 5 inch squares for an “I Spy” quilt. I knew I had some so as I was cutting for her I got the bug to make a new “I Spy” quilt too! I made one year’s ago but children’s favorite characters change. Not sure my grandbaby knows who the Care Bears are!! So, I am making a new one.
What I like about this one is that it will be an ongoing project, so I can work on it as I work other projects.
I will just keep the squares by my machine and put them together a little at a time!

When I sew a piece for this…….


I will start and end with these!!



By any chance does anyone have any 5 inch squares or scraps of novelty prints that are looking for a home? I also would love any characters such as Elmo, Dora, etc. Flannel would work too. I would be very grateful for your help. Thanks so much!!

Have a great weekend!!

  3. You certainly have an organized way of approaching two projects.

  6. The Thimbleberries pattern of the houses reminds me of San Francisco, where I was raised nearby.
    Sorry I don't have any novelty prints, or I would share.

  8. I might have some Jane - I'll take a look. I don't do many novelty fabrics although I think I have some vegetables. Not sure how that would go over! :) blessings, marlene
