'I Spy' some very cute Grandkids and some Blackbirds too!

Blogging friend, Celest, just finished her 'I SPY' quilt that she made for her three grand-kids!
I love the way she toned down the busyness of her 'I Spy' blocks by putting a different colour border around a group of 25 "I Spy" squares!  Colourful and fun...and a great way for her grands to learn their colours!  eg. In the green box, find a fruit, in the blue box find a vegetable.

Thanks for sharing, Celest!!  I love this quilt!!  Think I'm going to be 'Pinning' this one for future reference...just in case!  It's a winner!  And your grands are dang cute, as is your grand-dog!!

And here is blog follower, Marie's first block to Cheri Payne's FREE BOM called 'Blackbirds Gatherings'....
WOW!!  I am going to love this quilt!  Marie was worried that the house was too dark but I think that it's perfect!  Good choice of border fabric too!  Marie is off to a great start!

Thanks ladies!  Awesome projects!  I love it when you send in pictures for us all to see!

I will be posting sporadically (if at all...) this next week...my youngest daughter is arriving for a visit and we will be up to our regular hi-jinx...but alas...very little, if any, quilting!

Have a Magical Monday and Happy Stitching!~P

    We'll want to hear all about the hi-jinx when you get online again. It's a super cute I Spy quilt and the kiddos are right into it.

    I have a daughter arriving tomorrow as well. She's not a quilter so not sure what we will get up to. That I Spy quilt is great, and I love the idea of the different borders for the blocks.
