October 2024: I-SPY QUILTS - What makes an I-Spy quilt special? It’s not ‘just’ a cosy blanket or a fun play rug (although it is those things too!). Dotted all over an I-Spy quilt are fabrics with prints featuring anything from astronauts to zebras! Toddlers love playing the finding game: spread the quilt on the floor, on a sofa or outdoors on the grass; look for particular images or name the objects as they find them. Older children can have fun searching for particular images incorporating phonics learning as they play I-Spy With My Little Eye something beginning with …
Want to make an I-Spy quilt? Treat yourself to one of my specially curated pre-cut packs of novelty fabrics The packs contain 5" squares of 100% cotton print fabrics all carefully rotary cut - every square is different, no repeats!
Lots of gift ideas: bags, fabric sewing basket sets, quilts, table runners, fabric packs and patterns.
I designed this quilt using the traditional Irish Chain pattern as my inspiration. I enlarged the design and set it asymmetrically to achieve a more modern, open look to the finished quilt.

Full description
I used the traditional Irish Chain patchwork pattern as the basis for the asymmetrical design of this quilt. The finished quilt was featured in issue 71 of 'Quilt Now' magazine.
All the fabrics on the back and front of the quilt are 100% cotton. Hidden inside is a layer of naturally warm, breathable Bamboo & Cotton wadding. To seal the edges I made a double layer binding from a green gingham cotton.
The quilt measures 66" long by 54" wide (168cm x 137cm) - a great size to use as a bed cover, bed throw or cosy sofa throw.
I quilted the three layers (patchwork top, wadding and backing) together using a variegated thread in shades of blue that compliment the colours of the patches. The cotton print on the back of quilt features lots of quotes about the value of friendship. I have included a label giving details of when and where it was made.
Machine washable on a gentle cycle.
Made in my smoke-free, pet-free home.
