I Spy A Clone...

  Quilt stats

Name:  I Spy a Clone!

Design:  224-4" squares with 4" border

Size:  62" by 70"

Fabric: I Spy Scraps and stash fabrics

Quilted: by me with Aurifil 50 wt in white

A few months ago, I made an I Spy quilt for a raffle prize at  my school's spring carnival.  It was a huge success and one family in particular kept talking about the quilt after they were not the winners.  During the last week of school, I was asked to make them one.  And here it is.  Same design, same size but obviously a different mix of I Spy squares.  I was able to take the quilt to show at my guild meeting last evening and today it goes to its new home.

The most time consuming aspect of making a quilt like this is the cutting of the squares.  Oh man!  It takes such a long time to get all the little squares fussy cut.  I was a little smarter this time and cut extra squares as I went along.  Some how I think there will be more of these in my future.

Just a note about the squares. They are 4" squares, the only time there is a repeat in the fabric is if the print repeat is a different mix of spy-ables.  The quilting is my stand-by... a grid of stitching on either side of the squares in Aurifil 50 wt in white.  I love how the grid shows up on the back of the quilt!
