My Wonky Square Eye Spy quilt .....

This is the quilt I have made from blocks Wonky Square Eye Spy blocks collected in 2011 and 2012.  As you can see I added some rainbow charms to the sides to widen the top.

People who contributed to this quilt by swapping blocks with me are.....

Beatrice, Raelene, Terry

Maria, Bobbi, Maria

Marie, Crafty, Teresa

Anorina, Sue, Sheila

Michell, Jolanda, Sylvia

THANK YOU to all of you.... a really fun quilt ...

There are a couple more blocks that weren't included in this quilt and I plan to make cushions with them.....

I quilted it with a FMQ swirl all over ...

 ... can see them easier and get an idea of size of the swirls from this picture on the back...

.. what do you think of this fun backing... an almost new doona (duvet) cover I found in the op shop, which I also used in the binding

Thanks Sue for hosting this fun swap

(now I need to get my Churn Dashes together!!!)

Righto, Gotto Go..... there is fun to be had......

Wonky Eye Spy

Look at my lovely Wonky I Spy block received from Crafty....

~ with some pretty thread for stitching (I love stitching!)

each side has something interesting... I think my favourite is the row of eyes....

Thanks Crafty

I have a lovely collection of blocks now... if you feel like some inspiration have a look HERE

There's a Cat in the Hat.....

This is my lovely new Wonky Square Eye Spy block which arrived from Terry in Canada

Thanks Terry it is a lovely one to add to the quilt blocks

I always loved the Cat in the Hat story so I smile whenever I see it

My Eye Spy block from Sue

I was lucky enough to do a double swap this month and yesterday my first block arrived....

This naughtical theme Wonky Square in Eye Spy fabrics is from Sue...

.... and she sent some extra fabrics which I am so grateful for

(I don't really have eye spy fabrics {which of course is why I asked others to make them!!)

I am already imagining an interesting back and label..... mmmmm)

Thanks so much Sue.....

Somethings fishy

Fiona is my partner for July, and I know its still June but I could not wait to play with some eye spy fabrics and make her a wonky square.

I decided to do an ocean theme:

 what can you spy?

New Blocks........

I received this lovely Wonky Square in "I Spy" fabrics from Sylvia......

This is the blue and yellow block I traded it for ............

Great Trade

March Block from Samelia's Mum

This lovely block arrived for me this week.....

I have been a reader of Samelia's Mum for ages and love her work.... it is lovely to have a piece of her beautiful work in my quilt.....

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks.....................

Marie and Fiona

These are from the February block swap ....... I received this lovely I Spy Wonky Square block from Marie

I love the block - thanks

... it came with some lovely home gelatin dyed pieces Marie did herself... how special...

Marie also wanted a Wonky Square but in earthy autumny colours:

.... so this is what I sent.....

(sorry - the picture is awfully dark - the block wasn't this dull..... I promise!!)

Thanks Sue for facilitating this lovely swap.....



January block

This is my January block from Sandi yesterday... it had to come all the way from Florida.....

I have asked for 'Wonky Squares' for an I Spy quilt.....

Sandi tells me these skunks make amazing pets..... though if you annoy them they will give you a squirt of notsonice perfume!!  It is a great addition to my newly developing quilt..... thanks Sandi...

Fiona's block(s) from Rosemary

I have just started swapping blocks and Rosemary has done my first block for my Eye Spy quilt.....

it is a Wonky Square.....

I love how there are several of the Australian animals in it.

~ Thanks so much Rosemary - I love it ~

I had originally asked for disappearing Nine-Patch and Rosemary did make one for me, I agree with her that Eye Spy does not really lend itself best to the disappearing Nine-patch... but she sent the block she has made and I do like it.... and will use it on something else.... a mug rug maybe?

I haven't seen these fabrics and they are so lovely.... makes me want to go out shopping!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas
