Fine Print I Spy

This quilt is made from the pattern - "Fine Print" - by Crazy Old Ladies.

There are 15 rows of various sizes of I Spy fabrics. The pattern calls for 16 rows but I ran out of prints so I stopped at 16 rows.  I left off one of the smallest rows.It took longer to cut out the squares than it took to sew the top together. I was able to use each fabric once, except when I was able to cut out 4 different dogs from one print. I have a Noah's Ark print that I was able to cut out many different animal from.

I wanted to make a I Spy quilt with a pattern I hadn't used before and this one was perfect. I bound it in a multi colored polka dot fabric.

Measures 48 x 64 before washing. This quilt will be given to Ronald McDonald's House.

  7. Very interesting....(Remember Artie Johnson on Laugh In?)
    It could be a matching game, too. Match the large with smaller blocks.
