I "eye" spy quilt.

I have said before I think that I can't really sew, even my straight lines are not straight. However, I have made baby quilts for people before and they were well received. It's the thought that count's after all right? Well, I'm making another one sort of. Normally it's just a quilt, boy or girl prints for the baby to be. This baby is already here, and I'm sure has a million blankets already.

I thought about making a quiet book, but those are a lot of work and time that I don't have. So I'm making an Eye Spy quilt instead. It's small, not even big enough for a standard baby blanket, but these people are waste not want not, nothing that isn't useful, and no clutter, so smaller is better. Also, educational is very important.

So, a mini Eye Spy quilt fits the bill in my book. I'm also debating what to do with the back of it. Normally I'd just put one solid color, and in the case of a baby or small child, usually something really soft. I'm thinking though off putting different kinds of fabric for textures, and maybe some activities, like a pocket with something in it, something with snaps, buttons, that kind of thing...so a quiet book in a way too. It really depends on how much time I have.

Here it is so far. This is just the front of it, the only addition to this will be the edging that will be wrapped around from whatever the back turns out to be.

The squares are 4 inch ones, so that should give you an idea of how big it is.
