Description: | |
Welcome I Spy addicts!!! We are swapping 6.5 inch I spy squares. An I Spy quilt is a game quilt for children. Each block of fabric sewn into the quilt shows a distinct object that a child should easily be able to recognize. For example....A is for Apple, B is for Bat, C is for Cat, D is for Dog, E is for Egg, F is for Frog, etc. Each square must be cut in such a way that the object is the center of attention. If you have any questions about this, PLEASE ask and I will see if I can better explain this. Swap details Send 3 6.5" I spy squares to 2 partners for a total of 6 squares. Send one square for the letter E, one for the letter F and one for the letter G to each partner. Make sure that the object is the center of attention and is something that a child should easily recognize and send ONLY 100% cotton fabric. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! The squares should be cut precisely 6.5" with a rotary cutter. If you don't have a rotary cutter and have to cut your squares with scissors, be sure that they are precisely the right size and neatly and evenly cut. We will work our way through the alphabet from A to Z. In the end we will all have enough squares to make two I Spy quilts for our children, grandchildren, charity or whatever:)) I am going to cut 3 squares for each letter and keep one for myself, so I will have enough for 3 quilts:))) May have to draw straws to see which of my grandkiddies get a quilt..hehe!!!
