I had a great time picking out the novelty fabrics. I normally stay away from them, but some of them are so fun!
So besides the I-spy, people can use it for matching practice. I fussy cut all the pieces so they're the same. I tried to make them all exactly the same (note the apples) but there are a few that are slightly different.
And it's a maze! It does have a start and finish, but I thought it could also be fun to go from one tile to a matching tile.
It's been really rainy, so the photoshoot had to be inside. My son (and his monkey) helped out.
For quilting, I did squares and rectangles in the blue section, straight lines in the green, and back and forths in the brown. I love all those designs.
I was a little disappointed that the thread color didn't show up on the back, but I used minky and I love how soft it is. Since I didn't do any quilting in the maze, you can see it on the back too.
As always, there were a few times I was pretty nervous about how it was going to turn out, but I really like the end result!
Linking up with Whoop-Whoop Friday, LAAF, and Finish It Up Friday.
That's a great little quilt! I bet it'd be good for running toy cars on, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! Even if you can't see the quilting well on the back, the maze popping out is still pretty cool! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the maze! I am building up the nerve to use Minky....did you use batting as well? Quilting is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI live the combination of matching and I spy. And an adorable quilt inspector.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out awesome. I think your quilting turned out great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great layout for an i-spy quilt! and I love the way you quilted it. I finish borders with straight lines a lot. I think it gives quilts a nice clean finished frame and I like the puzzely meander too. cheers, Claire W.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish!

ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like how you can see the maze on the back.
