There are thirty-three blocks on the front of the quilt,
and an additional six squares on the back.
The I Spy fabric used for the center of the block measures 5" square.
Various colors were used to frame each I Spy fabric and add interest
to the overall design.
I opted to alter the pattern and cut the sashing 2.5" wide.
Here is a peak at my favorite block from this quilt.
I was visiting my mother and she happened to be sorting through a box of fabric.
I recognized some flannel fabric she had used to make
my brother pajamas...over 40 years ago!
I told my mother I absolutely had to have a square of the fabric for this quilt
since it was made for my brother's grandson.
My brother and his family had a good laugh about the antique I Spy fabric,
and I'm happy to say his grandson loved the quilt:)
May you always Sew In Peace!
It looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt and how special to have a piece of the "special" fabric included.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely wonderful turn of events that you were able to put an "antique" piece of fabric from family memories into this quilt! I love how you pieced it all together.
