Today I finished my I-Spy quilt top for my twin boys soon to arrive in just two months time. For those of you unfamiliar with an I-Spy quilt, it is essentially a quilt made of blocks that have a center fabric which depicts an object. The block is then framed by contrasting fabric. In this case I did scrappy corners to use up a lot of fabrics I had left over. These quilts are perfect for children because they are interactive, "I-Spy a bird... a truck... a cat, etc". All that's left is to attach the batting and the backing. I haven't decided if I want to add big colorful buttons or not. I have a collection of buttons that are in animal shapes, however the risk of a choke hazard is always something I need to think about. Of course I made a few mistakes, but when I am creating for me I don't mind them so much, I think they give the quilt character, especially since I will be passing this onto my own children. It will create a little story to tell later on.
