I Spy a Penelope Rose

I do love an I Spy quilt.  There are so many fun novelty prints out there. Penelope Rose would be here soon, and her quilting Gramma already had a bunch of quilts awaiting her arrival, so I decided a toddler sized I Spy quilt would be the perfect gift.  I dug into my bag of scrappy novelty prints and my Biscotti jars of strips, and made a plan.







  






























Even the simplest block works with interesting fabrics and bright colors.

















I had everything from kites and cows to ice cream cones, silly hippos, baby chicks, and lobsters. 
















Even platform shoes!




















A little meander quilting .....



















..... a fun backing and a special customized label from Gramma.

























Don't tell any of my 'Bama friends, but I threw in a few Auburn blocks for Mom and Dad.


























I made it big enough so Penelope can use it for a long time.  























Gramma loves it.  Big sister Dallas isn't sure.




















I think Penelope will love it.  As soon as she wakes up.

That is so fun and colorful! Perfect for Penelope! I love those blocks - you're right that they work nicely for an I Spy quilt.
