I Spy quilt for a little boy
Before leaving on vacation, I was able to almost finish the I Spy quilt I had started with the denim strips. I talked about that fast and fun method HERE. So this is what it looks like now...
I organized the blocks and sewed them all together...
...then layered the top with the batting I had leftover from the apple retirement quilt I had made a few months ago and the fun Debbie Mumm backing fabric I purchased at Joann's...
...then I started machine quilting with red thread using the edges of the I Spy blocks as my guide. I'll stitch 1/4 inch from each edge of each block going in both directions, vertical and horizontal, for the quilting. I thought the red would look good with the denim fabric.
This coordinating stripe was the perfect fabric for the binding I will make and apply when I have time after returning from vacation. I think it will make a very cheerful little boy quilt, don't you?
Happy Stitching!

Oh, do I love this little quilt. I am inspired to make one for my little grandson. I think I can handle this even though I am not a "quilter" by any means.
