I Spy Kids Quilt
I Spy Kids Quilt
Pattern: Original Design by Ellen Marie Mislo
Material: Fussy Cut Blocks collected for about 5 years
Quilt size: 28″ x 36″ Machine Pieced and Quilted
Ellen Marie always wanted to make a I Spy Quilt but could never find one that she liked so she designed one herself to incorporate the blocks she had been collecting for years. The Quilt was inspired by a friend in her vet”s office and so she made it for her.
The pattern is 42 – 4-1/2″ by 4-1/2″ fussy cut blocks connected with 2″ sash and arranged 6 rows across and 7 blocks down ..The first row down is sewn by alternating a block an sashing to the bottom then repeat again adding a block and sashing to the bottom until you get 7 blocks in the row. The second row down begins with the sashing first then the block, so forth down the row, until you have 7 blocks. Once you have the 6 rows sewn together with the alternate block then sash first, you assemble the rows – again with the sashing between. Having the top of each row alternating -block then sashing gives you the offset appearance in the finished quilt. Ellen Marie used the same color sashing to boarder around the quilt. The Quilt backing was a piece of material bought special for the quilt that carries the theme to the back as well. This quick an easy to assemble project is a fun Quilt that any child would love to have!
