I Spy top

I have not had much time to quilt these past couple of weeks, the summer seems to be quite busy. But I did have a bit of time to potter around the sewing room today and I managed to get the top for the I spy I am working on completed.


As I mention before this is a stash quilt. It is bigger than I was expecting, that is what I get by picking my measurements to use all the fabric I have. The amount of I spy fabric never seems to reduce. I have none of the background fabric left, and just enough of the shadow fabric for the binding. The zinger fabric was another one that I found in the stash. I have even found a piece of purple that is big enough for the back, which was left over from another project. It looks like I will need to pick up some batting, I only have very small bits left and don't feel like piecing that many. But over all very happy with how this stash quite is turning out.

Looking good - and all from stash - hurray. My quilts always come out bigger than expected. Maybe I should follow a pattern and then I wouldn't get a shock every time - lol !

I very much dighow you designed this I Spy quilt! The fact that its stash makes it all the more fun - if it could be any more fun with this great array of fabrics.
