Yes, there are still loads of I Spy
blocks kicking around my sewing room.
The first brick one is up on the wall after
a brief hiatus to make room for
the GK's 5 " block I Spy projects.
Unfortunately, a few of the bricks are upside down.
A quick pick out with my handy mini rotary cutter
and I was back in business.
Now it's time to audition some sashing.
Putting in some lighter colors as sashing
is always unsuccessful but
like a bad movie plot, I try it again
and it always does not work.
Here is the second go round,

The last one to chose from,
and finally a pile of the winners.
One winner turned out to be precut pieces
for backing so they were sent down to the
backing bin.
will also double as binding.
The first top measures 42" x 58"
but the subsequent ones will be
a bit shorter at 42" x 52"
Nice pile of strips here and
minimal leftovers too.
Enough to do 4 quilts!
Have a great week sewing !
Stay Safe and Sew On!

Always fun to do an "I Spy" quilt! You know, one day a light sashing just might surprise you so it's never a loss to audition everything just in case.
