Still Finding More (pun intended)

 Well the hits just keep on coming.

I've done quite a few I Spy quilts and 

I still have fabric remaining!

So I'm continuing to do the simple pattern 

of putting rows of blocks together.



There are five sets of blocks ready for retreat.

They are turning out a nice size.

The 7 x 9 block tops finish out at 32" x 41".

Here is a comparison between 

just the blocks sewn together,

and a top with a border added.




I like the look of both. The border does 

increase the size a few inches.

The tops will be stitched together at retreat. 

I can make a decision on adding borders to

enlarge them or to just quilt them as is.

A dive into the depths of Pintrest has 

given me more options.  I will pack up some solids or reads as 

and possibly change up a few of the layouts to add interest!

A brightly colored binding might spice them up enough.

Here is a little one my GS laid out.



Lots of bunnies and even a happy little yellow fella!

This one was made with leftovers

 from the 5 and 1/2 in blocks.

There 4" x 6" bricks

with a sashing between.


The binding along the top and bottom 

will frame it nicely.

Still more fabrics to use!


Sorting out the leftovers made even more squares! 


Lots  of stripes and chunks too. Yikes!





I'm excited to see how they will all turnout.

Stay safe and so on!
