This is the eye spy side. I added the strips around the edge so that I wouldn't cut off too much of the pictures on the other side. It's lined with baby blankets, the really thin kind.
This is the ABC side. I had this in my stash and it's lovely. I quilted around each square. Probably not the right way, but I did.
I wrote the letters on. That ghostly Qq there is because several squares had more than one letter and as you can see that is a Rhino in a rose covered robe in front of a Quilt with a Quail on it's shoulder. But...there is another square with two quails doing other q things. So I didn't heat set that and hopefully it will eventually wear off. Why they did that with only one square and a duplicate letter is beyond me.
Just a close up of a square.
When I tried to wash it before I heat set it because of that extra Q (before it was sewn on to anything) it frayed and tangled. So I put ribbon around the edge to try to keep that from happening.
Mady loves all the colors. She has never slept with a blanket in her life, but eventually she will, though this is more for learning. I'm glad she likes it.
Headed to bed, but I'll put up the quiet book that I've been working like mad to finish hopefully tomorrow. It's done and she loves it too.
