Whupside Down I Spy

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. 

The cutting was all 2 1/2" strips which

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!
