After I got all my squares made, I used my rotary cutter, self healing mat and a plastic ruler to trim off the excess batting........
I made a total of 15 blocks, making 3 rows of 5 each. I pieced together blue fabric scraps for the backing............
Here is one of my favorite blocks......
And here it is completed. I wish I would have trimmed the seams after I sewed the blocks together. I had some difficulty with bulkiness.....
Overall, I am very pleased with how it turned out and love all the blue!
This can also be an "I Spy" quilt with all the different dogs, dinosaurs, airplanes etc....
I used scraps for the binding too..........
This blue on blue quilt now has a special place in my quilt storage cabinet next to my pink on pink quilt.....

ReplyDeleteI love the quilt. I must admit I am partial to the pink one since I have 3 girls. I love that you were able to use everything you already had.

ReplyDeleteLove your I Spy quilt. I am going to have to make one of these for my grandson. He loves and has every I Spy book so I know he would love this. Thanks for sharing. I found you on Cindy's MY Romatic Home blog. I don't have a blog but I love to blog hop and see all that people create, there are so many out there that have so much talent like you.

What a sweet quilt! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI found this post using Pinterest and really love the idea for this quilt. I would like to make one but I don't understand why you chose to attach the batting to each blue square instead of stitching a larger piece to the finished quilt top. What are the benefits of doing this, and I can't help but think it would probably add bulk to the whole quilt. I will wait for your answer before I get started. Thank you!
What a fun quilt! Great for a little boy!
ReplyDeleteLove all the blues together and I love the concept of an I Spy quilt!!! I know nothing about quilting, but this seems like a relatively easy way to put a quilt together.
