I Spy Quilt is Back in Business!
The I Spy quilt is pieced and the top is complete…
My son is so excited about this quilt. He can’t wait for me to finish it. He likes to play I Spy whenever I am working on it.
Time to start work on the backing. I am going to add more fun fabrics on the back in 5″ squares to give more options when playing the game.
Here is a sneak peak at the back. This is a fun design that I found at Ikea. When I started this quilt, I knew this is what I wanted to use for the back. I wish it was that way with all my quilts. Normally I angst over the backing and the binding for days before I make a decision. For me, that is the hardest part of making a quilt. How about you? What part of the quilt making process makes you anxious?
Have a great weekend!

The hardest part of the process for me is the "quilting" the quilt. Since I do all my quilting on my regular sewing machine, I struggle over the design. Even though most of the time I do straight stitch quilting, I still have to work out a method, i.e. cross hatching, shadowing prints, in the ditch, etc.

I love the fabric in your border. It really sets off the triangles. No wonder your son can't wait for you to finish it. What a fun idea for an I Spy quilt. Now, for your question. The hardest part of the quilt-making process for me is figuring out how to make the necessary adjustments when my sewing isn't exact. It happens to me all the time. In my head, I am a great sewer, in reality, not always so good.

So fun! That's going to be just a great quilt when it is done. I fret over how to quilt the quilt. I guess I'm afraid I'll hate it part way through and have to pick it out. So far, that hasn't happened though.

Love the quilt and I have been looking for that border fabric! Nice. I would say that I think about borders, border fabrics, or not more than anything.
