I-Spy Quilts
I've been cleaning out closets for the last couple months and I found a bunch of I-Spy fabrics I bundled up years ago. It's not that I forgot about it, but I was only keeping one in my Etsy shop at a time. So this time I decided I should make some different versions and give people some options. Of course I made the traditional I Spy quilt with just different blocks. But then I started looking for other ways I could make them.
This navy one is quite simple. 80 blocks with 1 inch sashing. It's very organized and logical looking.
And then there is this turquoise version. Why not branch out in a different color? I was surprised how much I liked this one. I have a burnt orange color I'd like to try next. Which one is your favorite?

Maze Runner
Here are some mockups I made in different fabrics. These are not my usual colors. I'm trying to get out of my typical colorways even if it's just in the samples.

Blue Frog Quilt Pattern
New Pattern Alert! This is the Blue Frog quilt pattern and I am delighted with it! I know it's not that blue and it doesn't look like a frog. Let's face it. Naming quilt patterns is getting more and more challenging. But there is a method to my madness. I had these colors in mind when I designed the quilt. I've been using my solids up this fall and there are these pesky green ones that didn't seem to go with much. So I grabbed all of them and then asked myself what goes with green? Well blue of course! So then I had the blues all audition for the part and this is the resulting cast.
This pattern was so helpful in using both yardage and 2.5" strips. I had a bunch of that in these blues and greens too. I even put the directions in there for fat quarters just to hit everything you might have on hand. So grab what you have and make this quilt!.
I even found two blue greens for the back and put a hard to use green in between them. I tied in the black and white accent fabrics by using a black and white print for the binding.
