After looking through all the fabrics that I had received in my internet swap, I decided to use only fabrics that had a motif centered in the middle. There were lots of other pieces that had an allover design that I saved - perhaps I'll make another I Spy quilt using a different pattern in the future.
This is the backing fabric I chose - pencils all over the place.
I used a rainbow striped fabric for the binding to bring a bit of color to the outside edge of the quilt.
Can't wait till our little guy is big enough to identify all the different pictures - it'll be so much fun!

Oh wow! I have a new great-niece arriving in July. This is a great idea! But I guess it would be hard to get all the different fabrics without being in a swap. I'll check my fabric store - they often have little swatches. Very cute!!!

Oh Gayle, I just love your quilt!!! I started one a long time ago for my kids when they were little and I ever finished it. I'm just green with envy. It looks absolutely wonderful!!
Bright, colourful, educational, wonderful!!! I'm sure this little fellow will adore this for a very, very long time.
So much better than knitting something that they outgrow in 15 minutes.
Such a beautiful job. Well done!
I think this is the best I-Spy quilt I have seen! I love how you just used the one centered object instead of all over prints. You have inspired me :)
What a great quilt!
I don't know how I missed this post but your quilt is amazing. I love, love, love it and what a treasure it will be - I can see this being passed on for generations. I hope they treat it kindly! Congratulations, Gayle on a spectacular finish!!
Wow, that is incredible! I totally love it! How fun the kids would have with this, shoot... I'd have lots of fun too! Wonderful quilt Gayle and yes your little guy will have so much fun with it!
