I spy with my little eye....

....something that is 'quilt-y'

Behold.
My first attempt at quilting :)


As soon as I saw this mini I spy quilt I knew I had found my first project. It's just such a fun idea, and I knew my girls would love it!

It's definitely not perfect, but I enjoyed making it and it was SUPER easy!

Although, I did have some issues with the binding. Actually just one very big issue.

It's my corners.
They suck.
Really and truly.
I'm at a loss as to how you get pretty corners, so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

I took Marie's suggestion and used a fun animal print on the back too so the girls and I can have more 'I spy' fun with all the different animals.


I think she might like it :)

  1. It looks great, it's a perfect first time project. And I'll have to do a little blog tutorial on corners, I've had a few people ask me about them. Thanks for linking!

  4. Hoorah! Good for you! I'm so impressed. Be careful - quilting gets addictive :)

    I love the idea of the eye spy. Another friend suggested this idea to me awhile back, but after seeing it in person - I'm hooked! Definitely one for the queue :)
