It started with one block. I enjoy scrolling through quilting pages to get inspiration and sometimes a block takes my fancy. I have followed Pat Sloan on Instagram for a while and every now and then I do one of her projects. I came across the above block and thought I would make use of some 5 and a half inch squares I have been collecting. It is from Pat's Ode to National Parks sew along that started 2 weeks ago. I made one block and thought I would make a quilt out of this pattern (rather than do the National Parks quilt). My plan was to make it as a leader ender project ..... but couldn't stop sewing the blocks. I ended up making the whole lap quilt. Well that's what I think I will make from it. It's like an eye spy quilt, so for a child. Any suggestions?

Your I-Spy quilt is great! I understand the idea of wanting to do a leader and ender and not being able to stop!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy
DeleteYour quilt top turned out well. I occassionally read the Pat Sloan Facebook group and have noticed such alot of people are stitching the National Parks blocks. It's a good idea to just do this one instead of a sampler quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, yes I thought so too.
DeleteThat's the sign of a great project -- when you can't put it down! Perhaps your next step should be to make another! ; )
ReplyDeleteIf only we didn't need to sleep Michelle hee hee.
DeleteYour I Spy top is terrific. I would leave it as it is unless it needed to be bigger. The binding can act as a skinny border. I do get having a leader/ender and then not being able to stop!!!!!!TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThanks Yes I did only binding and it looks great.
DeleteThat top went together fast! It'll make a perfect baby quilt. Love where you've hung Fall Shenanigans! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
