Ok, so I've made yet another quilt. This one is a little wild and crazy, it's not the colors I would normally choose, but I made it colorful for the grandkids to enjoy. It's my "I Spy" quilt. I saw "I Spy" quilt on a calendar and decided it would be a fun quilt to make. So I enlisted the help two other people to exchange blocks with --my sister, Mary and my friend Sue. We decided on 3 1/2 inch blocks, so from our fabric stash we traded colorful pairs of blocks for the quilt. After a month or so I decided I had enough to make a good sized quilt. We also decided to exchange pairs of blocks so that not only would the quilt be colorful with lots of things to look at, but that it would also be a matching game because each block had a match somewhere on the quilt.
So now when the grandkids come to visit, they can play a matching game on Grandma's latest quilt. . . . and hopefully have a little fun playing a game we've enjoyed playing for years.

What a cute quilt. You are so creative. My mom told me that you and Mary are on a quilting club and how much she loved to go and see all of the new creative things you two have been creating.
I love it mom!! Love the idea, the colors....love it all!!
Carson found a bunch of matches on the pictures that you posted. He can't wait to try the quilt out in person.
