I've made several I spy quilts just using alternating squares of a solid fabric with fussy-cut prints for the I spy squares. (like a checkerboard) They are quick to make for baby shower gifts. I've never tried making one using hexagons. I like quick and easy projects.  Especially if it's a quilt that will get alot of use.I've also made a couple using snowball blocks. It's just novelty print squares with solid triangles sewn on each corner. Put together, the solid triangles form diamonds. I'm planning another I spy quilt to make for a friend's grandson for his 2nd birthday coming up this summer. This time I'm going to use the easy cathedral window method and put kid prints in the middle. Maybe you can imagine how it would look from this link: http://www.marthapullen.com/sewingroom/wallhang/msrproj1.html Just think of novelty prints in the centers of the blocks and bright solids for the outer part of the blocks.  Fons and Porter had one like it on a show recently, but I can't find a picture of it on their site. |
